or it was actually generating a lot of money and EA wanted a slice of the pie? 

the concept is simple. Sony offers some money for a game. an example would be 5 million to rockstar for RDR. by that point RDR was already profitable and sales werent all that much. so, they take the 5 million, which is free money, they also get the chance to sell more DLC since a lot of people are exposed to the game, and its free marketing. in the grand scheme of things sony only pays 5 million form the hunders they make from PS+. 

Rockstar gets free money, plus their game is marketed, and they are certainly going to sell more DLC.

Sony gets the big game, pays a small amount from the total they get PS+. and can manage to get much more games on it too. and they get the 50$ a year

the consumer gets the games, many of them. and pay 50$ a year for them all. 

I know how it works but I don't think the price for the publishers is right.. looking at the games offered the last few months.. its a bit down in quality from when it started. could be a sign that Sony is offering less money or it's not worth it.. (funny thing that there are a lot of EA games in Europe in PS+)


on ps3 sony was offering games that were old.  games that most people already owned.   you'd get an occasional title day 1 but those were few and far between.   so far,. every game on ps4's ps+ has been brand new except towerfall i think.   for the first year you really have to offer brand new games.  i mean,.. it's like that there is a back catalog to even pull from.

i don't think sony can afford to get a brand new game like wolfenstein.  that would be too expensive.   now after that game has been out for a year than yeah,.. wolfenstein is probably an option.   i'm quite sure ps+ games will include many more old AAA once old AAA games exist on the platform just like they did on ps3.

and i mean,. compare ps+ to xbox one gwg's offering.  not only was it late to the party it's games are even worse.   ..i mean,. maybe not to you.  i know how you like smartphone games but the rest of us have lesser opinions of that kind of game.
