Here me out on this.

If Sony made already owned digital games free to stream, it would encourage a lot of people to transition to digital, which is something that would help Sony since they would get a higher cut of profits. 

Also, seeing as that a $15 digital game is about the same price as a one month game rental on PS Now, Sony wouldn't be losing money with this. Since people generally don't play games again too much after the first month anyway, it's doubtful that the user would put any more load on their server than someone who rented the game.

This way, people who want to own the game and play it on their own time can purchase it digitally, while people who just want to try it out can rent it for cheaper. 

Disc users will have to be left out, since not all PS Now devices have disc drives, but at least it will bring a lot more people into Sony's digital ecosystem, meaning more profits for them in the long run.

EDIT: It's not free, you still have to purchase the digital game . The digital acceptance rate is very low right now, and this would push people to buy digital. Most people have disc retail games, so they would still have to repurchase the game, which should more than make up the costs, as a $14.99 game is equivalent to 1 month of PS Now. 

As an added benefit, users will be more likely to purchase brand new, $59.99 retail games digitally in the future, since they may be come usable on PS Now eventually, and that results in more profit fos Sony due to online distribution.

you mean like remote play, just do that.

That will be a great idea but I am still shocked at the prices... I honestly thought that it would be like Netflix... Or heck, like how Gamefly does it. You pay $22/month and I believe, you can rent out 3-4 games and u can play them for however long you like or return them and get new ones for no extra charge. I really do hope Sony does ur idea or something like Gamefly or else I fear the worst (looks at Onlive)

Yes please!

you made a really good point

They have got to bring in some money to cover electric, bandwidth, Servers, and the space the servers are in. They also have to make profit so they can expand the service to more locations, and provide faster and more reliable service. So I do not like the idea of the service being free.

With that said, I would not mind if they had a monthly plan that allowed me to play the games I have purchased. Something like $10 a month for access to all owned digital games, and one rental a month would be fine. Then just tier it up form there in $5 dollar increments ex.(2 games = $15 a month, 3 games = $20 a month, ect.)

This gives me unlimited access to my digital catalog on any device, and allows me to try new games every month. I think that is a fair deal for Sony, the Consumer, and 3rd party publishers.

sure, because massive server farms don't cost money for being built, or maintenance or power.

I agree. Sony should totally give away stuff for free, regardless if you can just use remote play if you happen to use the game anyway which is pretty much the same in the end...

I really don't see the point of this.

This won't happen. Sony has to make as much money off Playstation as they can and they will do so.

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense from the perspective of people who want free stuff.
