Forums - Gaming Discussion - PlayStation Plus and Games with Gold: Their fault or our greed?

The way I see it PS3 released globally by March 23rd 2007, PS+ didn't begin until June 29th 2010, so there was over 3 years with no Playstation Plus.
The IGC started with WipeoutHD, after that it wasn't until Burnout Paradise (2nd of June 2011 in PAL regions) that a AAA game was added, so over 4 years after PS3 launched.
Farcry 2 was the 3rd AAA game (PAL region), which released on the IGC in early Feb 2012.

Here's the link to the IGC games added to the PAL PS+ library:

America: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Instant_Game_Collection_games_%28North_America%29

For reference (according to VGC) PS3 had sold just over 38M units and moved around 276M units of software when PS+ began, PS4 may get close to those numbers by early next year, so maybe that's when more AAA games will land.
It wasn't until mid 2012 (5 years after PS3 was available globally and 2 years after the launch of the service) that Playstation Plus started to get a steady flow of AAA games added to the IGC.

People have definitely been expecting way too much too soon.

How can anyone be upset that gamers want AAA Titles from PSPlus? Gamers who complain are the best thing for gaming as a whole. I'm a HUGE sony fan but PSplus is garbage this gen so far compared to how amazing it was on ps3.



Maybe Sony needs to bring more japanese games to PS+. I am pretty sure people would prefer playing a game like akiba'strip over 6 indie games. PS+ in japan just got some months ago Nobunagas Ambition and they are also are getting PS2 and PS1 classics on ps3. Something i havent seen ever here in the west

I have no complaints about Games With Gold. PS Plus seems to get worse every month.


No it doesnt, Gold get this month the wolf among us as the only game. That is an indie game in my eyes and its one game only in comparison to PS+

It blows my mind how Sony gives away 72 games (indies or not) a year for 50 bucks and people still complains...

The same can be said for XBL, even tho i dont have a Xbox device right now.

Most gamers are too fucking entitled.

4.17$ per month people.



I lost some interest in plus. But if you see that the library is still small and even launch games aren't cheap it's complicated to give aaa.

So it's a matter of time. And in 1 year we got injustice, second light, mgs5 zg and other big games and some very good indies and deals.

Azzanation: "PS5 wouldn't sold out at launch without scalpers."

It is largely entitlement. As others have pointed out people are quick to forget that PS3 was not delivering a heavy AAA title every month with PS Plus. It took a while for the library to build up before they started offering them regularly.



They fault

I got a 3 month sub to PS+ after hearing all the stories about how PS+ is awesome. After it expires I doubt I'll ever renew it again.

You should check to make sure you have untick the auto renewal so you don't buy more psn+ time after that runs out. Those pre paid cards all turn out the auto renewal feature thing of psn+ it's pretty shitty really if you forget about it.



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive
