Not a fan of games as a service, to be honest. Having your collection behind a paywall doesn't sound desirable to me.

I think this is just great. Subscription based access to older content is where the movie and music industry went, and this is just natural for gaming. This is great for consumers.

You don't like PlayStation Plus, Wright?

Nope, don't like it either.

I understand your feelings on it. Still, it's the service that you're paying for...not the games. You don't see the benefits to it? Just curious. I do agree about the paywall though.

Not really. I imagine it will probably be at least a year or longer before you start seeing some of the newer games like For Honor for example on this service. Or I guess it just depends on if the publisher/developer of that game is ok with it being on the service even if it means they might be losing sales from people who would buy it physically or when it originally launched. 

Sounds pretty similar to the PSNow subscription thingy, although that doesn't cover PS4 games, and of course that is streaming versus here you are actually downloading the game.

I don't really find appealing the idea of services themselves. They start locking things behind them as to entice you subscribing, which makes sense I guess but further create value conflict. How long until certain games are released as service-exclusive or the likes. I'm a collector and I've always valued a collection (don't really care whether physical or digital at this point), but it would be terrifying if my collection could be rendered unplayable because I stopped paying somewhere else.

Oh of course. I see now. That would be crazy to put brand new released games on this service.
