Its a good game that's doing well cause it's free. If it wasn't free, it wouldn't be popular.

If it was that easy then every game that's free on PS+ or GWG would go through something similar, but they simply don't. Yes being free with PS+ is helping this game massively with exposure but the thing is that in the situation of this game I'm actually quite sure that once the PS+ deal is over the game will continue to be popular and will have only benefitted from the initial playerbase the free month has given it.

But would it be so sucessful if it wasn't free? I don't think it would. 

Not so immediately successful, but over a slightly longer timeframe it certainly would. It's a brilliantly accessible game and fun, and great to play with friends. It meets that essential gaming maxim of easy to learn difficult to master. And a brilliant e-sport for the pro scene. It was destined for great success regardless of PSN+. PSN+ just gave it an early boost.

Maybe but it would certainly require a significant amount of marketing.

Not really. Twitch and Youtube are doing the job nicely for it, a slower burn but a success nonetheless. Why are you so determined to make out this game would not become super popular without PSN+. It's a great game, almost guaranteed to win many sports game GOTYs this years, and maybe some brave people will give it over all GOTY. What's going to give it competition? Splatoon and Bloodborne I think would be it's toughest competition. I don't think any of the crop coming later this year will amount to GOTY material, except maybe Rise of the Tomb Raider.

Anyway, back to Rocket League appreciation: 1vs3 ranked match, guess who wins? http://www.twitch.tv/ryir/v/7762352

ioi has stopped updating the charts again, because he's addicted to Rocket League.
