"I can agree with you that they are not free but getting a $60 game for $5 a month is a deal if you ask me."

What $60 game? They either offer indie titles or older games that have already lost their value.

@moldybread sorry, that was my bad. Tales from the Borderlands, my personal favorite, is now valued at about $30. And Just Cause 3 is $59.99. So again, sorry, missed that one by a cent.

@Why o why
"Go play some multiplats moldy..."

What does that have to do with the topic???

I bought Just Cause 3 months ago for about $20, you can now get the XL Edition for $21. It's almost 2 years old, why would anyone pay $60 for it now, console tax?

I don't pay for PS+ which means i miss out on the multiplayer on PS4 but that doesnt bother me. I have been a gold member for close to 15 years so i buy all my multiplayer games on xbox. I was a + member for a year on the PS3 but i canceled. I just wasnt into the games they offered as part of the membership. I did dig the discounts though (which was the initial reason for + to begin with).

So my online multiplayer is relegated to just 3 out of 4 platforms. 360, xbo and PS3 (until sony kills off PS3 support). I have thought about getting + again..... maybe this year if a game really compels me to buy into it for multiplayer.

Moldy, why do you think Microsoft started Games with Gold? If you still haven't figured it out it was because of PlayStation Plus no matter how much you downplay the service.

He can't help himself. Does he ever say anything about who was responsible for all this? NOPE. Only complains that free games aren't free "technically". And complains that a competing service by **ONE** 3rd party developer isn't allowed on the system. EA shouldn't get special privileges because they're bigger than other 3rd parties.

A lot of us said don't pay for it on Xbox years ago or it would spread over to other platforms and here we are. At least something is given back in the form of playing games you didn't have to buy. And get discounts too on digital games you do buy through Plus. Making the value more than the price.

"Moldy, why do you think Microsoft started Games with Gold? If you still haven't figured it out it was because of PlayStation Plus no matter how much you downplay the service."

and because of Sony and backlash they also removed things like Netflix being required to have a Gold account. But why are you now trying to ignore how Sony has turned what was once a good option to a mandatory service while acting like a dictator? Examples like not allowing its users to decide if they want EA Access or play wioth their friends on other consoles through crossplay?

That's the problem wiith so many here, even though Sony has done an amazing job with the PS4 they still have areas that need improving but for some strange reason a few of you are unable to act like a consumer and actually speak out when they are being anti-consumer.

"EA shouldn't get special privileges because they're bigger than other 3rd parties. "

Like I said many times before, it's impossible for you to ever act like a consumer. That's like saying it's a special privledge to allow HBO to subscribe to. Utter nonsense!

"A lot of us said don't pay for it on Xbox years ago or it would spread over to other platforms and here we are. At least something is given back in the form of playing games you didn't have to buy.

Oh, you mean like what Electronic Arts provides with EA Access? Funny how you can support one situation and not the other but I guess you being such a loyal customer you feel obliged.

@ Neonridr

To you is a great deal. I have no desire whatsoever in renting games and I especially have no desire to give Sony, MS or Nintendo money to access servers for games that they do not provide or maintain: every 3rd party game. The reason why you don't pay money for online on PC is exactly because 3rd party publishers don't ask us money to access their servers so why should I give money to play games the big (greedy) 3 have nothing to do with?

@psyxon - you aren't incorrect in what you are saying. Yes, technically the games aren't free. But having access to these games while you are paying for your online subscription isn't a bad thing. I mean it could have been worse, it could have just been paid online multiplayer and that's it.

No need to get all defensive about it.

I never said it was a bad thing.
