Are the PS+ "free games" the crack that will bring down the industry?

It already brought down the industry, it justified a subscription for online multiplayer.....something you guys honorably stood against.....or used to.

People had a choice. With Microsoft you had no choice. Sony said since the numbers for Plus were so high we'll slip multiplayer in there to ensure that the numbers grow further. Hate to say it but when you have greedy sons of bitches like Microsoft in the industry if you feel the need to survive you'll copy the tactics of the devil himself to survive sometimes.

"Had" being the operative word. Please tell me you don't believe that PR bs that PS Plus was so high on its own. In fact I would venture to say the opposite, as subscriptions are or used to be against your peoples culture. Online multiplayer tied to PS Plus ensures its success where PS3 adoption rates failed.

You seriously are not making Sony out as the poor victim to justify their practices.....same goes with their 3rd party exclusives. When Sony does it there is always a justification right? That is a rhetorical question.
