No really making money. It's just lessening the loss of money from your initial purchase.

There's only 2 races: White and 'Political Agenda'
2 Genders: Male and 'Political Agenda'
2 Hairstyles for female characters: Long and 'Political Agenda'
2 Sexualities: Straight and 'Political Agenda'

It definitely has for me. I mean I have downloaded far more than $50 worth of games a year on it not even counting discount titles (and I'm only counting ones I enjoyed)

That's not making money. That's saving money, assuming you would have bought those games anyway.

I mean I COULD have sold all my games on Ebay if they were available on Plus and probably equaled the cost out but then I wouldn't own my precious physical copy and I am making money by not spending it. A penny saved is a penny earned. I COULD have bought Just Cause 3 (probably wouldn't have but it still counts) but now I get a $20 value at least absolutely free! I just made $20!

Been doing this for years on steam sales for all multiplats. Especially useful for games that had died on consoles like L4D (which is still played online on steam)

It seems we have radically different ways of thinking.

When I buy a game physically and then I get it digitally, I still keep it. It's my insurance policy!
