Its a good game that's doing well cause it's free. If it wasn't free, it wouldn't be popular.

If it was that easy then every game that's free on PS+ or GWG would go through something similar, but they simply don't. Yes being free with PS+ is helping this game massively with exposure but the thing is that in the situation of this game I'm actually quite sure that once the PS+ deal is over the game will continue to be popular and will have only benefitted from the initial playerbase the free month has given it.

But would it be so sucessful if it wasn't free? I don't think it would. 

Not so immediately successful, but over a slightly longer timeframe it certainly would. It's a brilliantly accessible game and fun, and great to play with friends. It meets that essential gaming maxim of easy to learn difficult to master. And a brilliant e-sport for the pro scene. It was destined for great success regardless of PSN+. PSN+ just gave it an early boost.
