How is Games with Gold even comparable to PS+?

With PS+ you're just getting rentals.
With GwG you're getting real actual free games.

Seems MS took a lesson from Steam, not from Sony. And even in that case, Steam does it for free.

do any of the games with gold have multplayer? will the multiplayer suddenly be free if you stop paying for gold  like a real actual free game or are you only getting single player for "free"

and trying to say it's from steam is really a strech since it's hard for them to reward current subscribers with games when steam does it for free.

So how do they compare, they are paid subscriptions on video games consoles that are offering you games at no cost beyond the subsription. does sound preyy similar. Though in one case there have been games at no extra cost since the service started until now, with the service only getting good with the instant game collection. With there now being hundereds of games to the long term subsribers.  In the other there haven't been any games until recently and the long term subscribers have just as many games as those who signed up when the program started.

You're getting the whole game for free. Whether you want to use MP or not is up to you. And I know Steam does what it does for free. My post said as such.

The only thing being compared in this thread are the games subscribers get. And one side gets rentals, the other side gets actual free games they can keep as long as their console works whether they are still a customer or not. World of difference. I could see people crying about MS gamers needing to thank Sony if they were also getting random rentals chosen for them but that's not the case.

so you can still play the multiplayer in those free games if you are not a subsrciber? if not you're getting half a game for free. Like most the multiplayer game on the 360 part of the game is for "rent".

and for calling them rental, I don't know any other service that just keeps getting more and you never have to send any back. Titles can come an go on streaming sites. Renting physical you can only have so many at a time. PS+ the library keeps growing.  I'm sure that if MS has done a system like plus you'd be very happy with having such a nice libraryof games even if "only rental"
