Crossbuy is full ownership across multiple platforms, so its cheaper than buying it for one or multiple systems. It's an exploit popularized by Sony themselves. In contrast using a free plus membership to get a 10$ discount is hardly worth any concern. EVERY prior PS+ discount, gives you FULL ownership. The free games and the discount themselves are there to keep you subscribing not access to the games you paid the discount for. If you don't have ownership, you don't even own the content, so you are missing the entire game. You are just allowed to play the game, and god help you if something ever happened to the PS+ service. |
No, generally I don't. However the section at the very top of the information screen when you click on a game says "When you purchase this game with PS Plus it's yours to keep forever, not a member of plus..." etc. Any disclaimer would likely be put there, above the other important information, like the amount of players the game supports, the resolution and the download size.
I read the disclaimers of all drugs I take, aside from the ones that don't come with disclaimers.
A $10 difference by 40-50k is huge. You're talking about 500k in lost revenue. Who buys the same game across multiple platforms? Sony probably don't see that as lost sales, but an easily accessible discount is very real. By the way, I don't believe this is the only reason, I was just trying to suggest one, I'm not sure why they're changing their practices.
Really, I understand your viewpoint on the matter now. You have a problem with the onwership status of the product given you can't play it unless you have an active subscription. That doesn't bother me though, as I will continue to have an active subscription and I would consider myself an owner of the game given I can play it for as long as I want, so long as I have my account and my PS4. Saving $10 at launch is completely worth it then in my eyes.
By the way, I'm probably not even getting Driveclub. So I'm just gonna drop the issue here.
