| A203D said: The games coming to PS Plus for free are games which everyone who wanted to buy bought at the time of release. They come for free to users who wouldn't buy them even at a budgeted price. Which I would think undermines the used game market. I think its a good move for the publishers and the platform holders. It means that the publisher can generate interest in a game to users who may have had no interest in that game previously and it also means the publisher could make profit on the DLC of a game that is distributed freely. |
Not necessarily true. Check the list above. Many games out of that list I wanted to buy, but postponed it for reasons of economical nature. Keep in mind, that the whole thread is based on a hypothesis. A "what if..." situation. That is "what if many people acted like this and postponed day-1 buys, until - several months later - they got the game for free via PS+?".
Would it not hurt the industry? Would it not bring losses to devs and publishers, since their product was not sold for 60-70$ but for a mere fraction of the 50$ annual membership fee?
This, I stole from grandpa...It's called soap.
