Don't you think it might have something to do with the image of Microsoft and Xbox as well? I mean, the only thing Sony has to gain from giving away games for less than they're sold for, is to improve their image, what else is there?
But their competition is already losing so big in that department so that if Sony can get away with slacking, and making more money by doing so, why shouldn't they?
I would be willing to pay the PS+ cost just for the opportunity to play online to be honest, whenever there are any games out that makes me want to play with others that is. The free games are a bonus, and in due time I, and I believe most, will be accustomed to it not being all AAA games and go happily on with our lives.
If I want a game, I buy it, and if i've bought it I have a feeling that i actually have to play, and eventually finish it. But I feel the same way about books, and movies, and whatever other medium. If I buy a cinema ticket, I rarely walk out of the show. If I buy a book, I eventually read it, or watch the movie I bought.
I don't feel it's a chore since I've actually opted to pay for the thing in the first place. If I buy an expensive shirt, I feel like I want and should wear it on a friday night out. I think gaming is the same thing, if you've gone as far as you've payed for it, sure you should feel the NEED to get value out of it, no?
The thing about these games is, I barely see any reason at all to play them myself. If I were to be interested in the story I could just watch someone else play since the choices you get to make barely make any difference what so ever.
