They dont just up and give you 500k. They give a certain amount per downloads.
So as a made up figure, lets say $100 per 1000 downloads, assuming a million people download, thats like $100,000 (Emphasis on this being made up figure)
The dollar per certain number of downloads is never the same, is based on whether the game is new or has been out for a while etc.
So thats like $0.10 per download, lets say around 6 new games per month, so for each induviduals persons sub per month is 60 cents per user per month if they download all games, $7.2 per year from your $50 subscription.

So that is how Sony makes money from ps plus and how indies and other devs make decent amount of money, for indies 100k is usually good enough for their ps vita game for example, and lets estimate there are now 6 million ps plus users, 600k per game is possible (obviously once again made up figures but the system of how it works is correct)

They are getting this amount to put their game on PS+ for free for one month ON LAUNCH. They've already made more than that through Steam early access so Sony obviously considers it a good game to snatch.
