| Dallinor said: It is the full game though, at a cheaper price. As long as you have a membership, your access to it doesn't run out. They also aren't getting rid of the physical copy, so the consumer has a choice. Personally, at $10 cheaper, I'd see no reason to go with a physical copy. I certainly wouldn't wait 6 months to 1 year in which time the PS+ version would probably come down in price too. |
A full game is full access. The PS+ upgrade is not ownership, you own the license to access the game but you don't own it. My issue is not with consumer choice. MS told people they had the choice of 360 if they wanted offline play. My problem is that this is taking advantage of ignorance. For those who overlook the fine print, they will think its the full game but its not, its basically DRM.
Its hypocritical to say "oh, it doesn't matter if it you can't access it without plus, who wouldn't have it?" when this is the exact same defense of XBL for the past decade.
The issue is more complex than simply price, its a matter of principle and offering a deceptive option is worse than no option at all.
This is the same kind of reasoning that went to the defense of KI, oh its cheaper, and I don't want to play other characters anyway.
I've never given MS any slack why would I be any different with Sony?
