As far as we know, once you added a PS+ game to your library it will always be there. If at any moment you stop subbing you won't be able to play it, but at any given moment you come back it will be playable just fine. So what he was saying was that on subs like GP you may have to stop playing what you are hyped to play so you don't lose the window of that title availability while on PS+ you just add to your backlog and play whenever you want after finishing what you are doing. Now I don't know how GotG works, but that was what he was talking.

Elden Ring isn't on GP, and the point was not for the games you purchase, because those obviously are yours to keep (unless odd circumstances that can happen with fully digital purchases on any platform).

OK, in that respect yes.  Its the same as Games with GOLD which is included with GP Ultimate so pretty much the same situation.

And unless because of odd reasons a title you wanted to play on GP you delayed for a long time (I may be wrong, but titles on GP stay for several months for the most part right?) there is no real need to stop what you are playing just to not lose the opportunity to play that title on GP for free (as you said if you really want to play it you can buy with a discount, and of course if the person really wanted it them probably would have played long ago on the service). But that is the thing of customers, we will always find something to complain about =p

I don't think GP model is the future for Sony because of the type of games they make and also don't want Sony to change to a model that would better fit GP, but there is no denial that it is an excelent model for customers (the only odd thing for me is the praise people give to how many titles they tested that they wouldn't otherwise, which the way I read is that they considered it mid to garbage tier that if they had to pay they wouldn't play, and that gives voice to the quantity over quality - quantity and variety isn't bad anyway since it is more likely for you to find something you like if there is diversity in there).
