If we threw logic out the window and assumed that Sony did give something away, then that figure would be silly, as many of the games were no good, many were on systems the vast majority of PS3 owners cannot access, and many are available at far cheaper costthan their original RRP (and to own forever at that). Of course we could go one step further, and point out that Sony's costs were virtually nothing for the dowloads, and then whatever they paid publishers for games, averaged over the number of PS+ users. |
1. Who determines what's good? There are people who prefer "silly indies" over AAA games because if they are interested in an AAA game, they it before it's offerered on ps+. ps+ also exposes people to games they never would have given a chance otherwise.
2. I don't get this point. Surely what's important here is that most ps+ subscribers have a ps4 and most likely a ps3. The majority of ps3 owners don't have ps+ anyway.
3. You don't exxactly own it forever. If it gets damaged, lost, given to a friend who never returns it, etc, it's gone for ever. The same can't be said about digital dowloads. I recently moved to a new country and couldn't take my over 100 ps3 physical copies, but just with my ps3 and a decent internet connection, I can have access to an insane number of games I've received from ps+
