Games with Gold was a formality when PS3 made it optional to get free games. When they started giving free $.$$ single A budget games, it was over.
I won’t be surprised if eventually free games go away on Sony’s end too as the hook of getting to subscribe is just now having online access. Before they had to incentivize customers to subscribe
Sony isn't going to do that, that's the whole point of ps plus. Well, it used to be, now it's about access to their expanded game catalog and classics along with the monthly games. I'm subbed to both and I've always said ps plus is the better deal. If anything this just proves that Jim Ryan was kind of right about publishers not liking GamePass.
GamePass is great but it's honestly very volatile to the industry in the long term. We've seen this kind of thing happen with humble bundle, people will stop buying games thinking they're gonna end up in a humble bundle, next thing you know humble bundle is purchased by IGN and it gets even worse. I'm all for GamePass and ps plus, but not if it means increased game prices and less game innovation.
