I think the whole thing should be structured around the amount of hours, with only one price for the full game:

Single game pricing:

$1 = 2 hours
$3 = 5 hours
$7 = 10 hours
$10 = 15 hours
$15 = Unlimited time with the game.

Subscription:

$25 = 1 month for all you want to play.
$40 = 3 months
$70 = 6 months
$100 = 1 year.

PS+ subscription benefits:

5% off 1 months subscription
10% off 3 months subscription
15% off 6 months subscription
25% off 1 years subscription

DO IT SONY!


If sony implements these plans, lots of games wont be on PS Now, third party companies wont agree to this. It can work for their in house titles but companies like square would laugh at an offer like this

Then they will continue to lose out on revenue due to used game sales. If the TV and Movie industries took this stance we wouldn't have Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime etc.

I'm sure Sony will be able to secure temporary deals with the various devlopers to stream their games a la Netflix. Dangling lump sums in front of cash strapped developers will be almost to much to pass up. Has to be better than leaving that revenue out there to Gamestop and the used games market.

but they have to calculate for a profit, and 100$ a year will surely not turn any profit.


that's because you keep assuming streaming costs are a "costly thing"

its way more costly than just selling digital copys.  so u should claculate in a little premium... but no, most people think the price will go down because of streaming.  and older games are maybe cheaper to stream, but its not as cheap as just selling them digital.

streaming costs are independent of the content, in case you didn't know

In case you didn't know, movies and music and tv shows get a buttload of revenue from many different sources

Games don't. direct sales and rentals are the only ones. Which is why they are more expensive than the above, both in purchases and in rentals
