It does though. The same subscription also applies to just playing online regularly. Sure servers do close down, but that's largely dependent on the game, there are some games that are 10+ years old that still have servers available. It seems to essentially be about adding extra value to the subscription so it's not just paying for online, but to me having stuff available only for a limited time adds no value whatsoever. I'm not particularly keen on the idea of NES/SNES games, but if they are giving them out I'd much rather they were to keep. If they are only for a month then I'm just never going to play them since I'll be doing other stuff. If they were to keep then I could just download them and then if I'm bored one day could try them out. That's essentially how I use PS+ games, sure I may never actually get round to most of them, but at least they will always be there waiting in case I do feel like trying them one day. |
I mean, the point is that you actually have people online to play with. Like I get what you're saying, but it doesn't really have anything to do with what's being suggested. If you don't play the game the month the event is going on, you probably won't have anyone online to actually play with because all of those people will be playing the current game. Making these into events give these games a playerbase.
Maybe it's just because I'm imagining these to be closer to what Nintendo did with the games in NES Remix, but I'm not even imagining these games being regular NES games at all. It's more like what Nintendo did with BS Zelda on the Satellaview. At least that's what I'm assuming. I don't think this will be part of VC at all, but a separate thing.
