You heard it here folks. Trying to shove people into buying your expensive new console, is more consumer friendly than giving them shit tons of games for $1 available through several platforms.

As I said, GP offers good value, but its not like GP replaces the need to ever spend money on games again. A and AA games are cool and all, but in the end we're all still way more excited about next gen versions of the AAA franchises like BF, COD, AC, GTA etc. All games that either won't come to GP at all, or will come years later.

I get that people are comparing it to Netflix, but it really isn't. The difference is that games are very time consuming. For example, I downloaded Monster Hunter World and basically stopped playing anything else for like 3 months. I would have spend $45 playing MHW, while I could have just bought the game from the bargain bin for $20. I would have physically owned it and never had to worry about it being pulled from GP. 

GP isn't always the best value. It kinda depends on what games you're into. Personally I'm just scrolling through those 1000 titles thinking "I played this 2 years ago already" or I'm seeing games I never even heard off thinking "nope, nope, nope". I just don't have the time and interest to play every single game ever released. I would rather spend $60 on a single game I really care about playing. Or waste my time on the VGchartz forum ;)

Nobody has claimed GP replaces the need to ever buy games again. And not a single game is exclusive to GP, you can still buy them if this service doesn't suit you. 

All that drivel but you didn't bother to explain how focusing only on GP at the expense of sending a next-gen isn't consumer friendly at all.

And you still tried to make it sound as if all GP games are A or AA.. goopy plz.
