Sony gave out €1000 worth of "free" games this year. Club Nintendo gives away Mario pencils after you bought €1000 worth of Nintendo products (hyperbole). 


That doesn't change anything. Those games aren't "free." Sony hasn't given out anything. That's like saying that Netflix gives out over €1000 worth of "free" movies every year.

You are paying a fixed yearly rate for the right to access €1000 worth of games and use various online services with PS Plus. Club Nintendo is paying you in points toward their very limited store to fill out surveys and prove that you own the games you're being surveyed on. They are totally incomparable.

I'm not comparing the two. I'm saying that Nintendo should get rid of Club Nintendo and create a good program. 

Paying €50 for €1000 worth of games IS free stuff in my book. You can't possibly dislike all the games on PS Plus, otherwise you're not really a gamer I think.


It's not free because you're literally paying in order to access those games.  You get more for your money, sure, but that's because it's a service. It's completely different than Club Nintendo that is offered for games you bought anyway (and also for buying their system).

You have a completely backwards way of thinking about this. 

If I give my friend €50 and he gives me €100 in return then I have just gotten €50 for free. 

Simple logic. Of course I don't like every free game on PS Plus, but there are enough games on it that I would play (but not buy normally).
