Forums - Sony Discussion - Should PS plus titles become permanent buys if you get the DLC for them?

Not at all.
I'm buying quite a few season passes for games I only get to play through GwG or GamePass. Why should that suddenly entitle me to own the game? I didn't buy the GOTY edition for a reason. The reason being that I can already play the base game and only need the DLCs.
Why should non subscribers not get the game for free when they buy DLC?

Because they are not subscribed =p.

Sure but as long as you're subscribed it doesn't make a difference if you own the game or you can only play it from the subscription.

You only benefit once your subscription runs out and at that point you are on the same level as someone who never subscribed. The new non-subscriber gets to own the game because he bought DLC for it but someone who never subscribed yet still bought the game's DLC (perhaps because it was on sale) doesn't?

I know but making it feel unfair is exactly the reason why they want you to subscripe, it feels also a bit unfair that I get Gears 5 DLC/extra's for free because I own U gamepass while someone who bought the 100 bucks edition don't get those extra's and DLC.
