Console peasants, why do yall keep saying that PSN and XBL gives you free games...

[storyteller]

By the time my PS+ subscription expires, I ain't gonna care about most of the games. I rarely go back after I beat a game and have a bunch of games that I start up and get bored with so I don't rock. So having PS+ throw me a free 2 year trial of one or two games a month (if that's how you want to word it) is more than enough value. That's not to mention how many times I cop a game discounted with PS+ and those don't expire with your subscription.

Feel free to me..

nikkas really saying..."It's free if I pay the subscription", effectively nullifying the "it's free" comment.

It's a nice bonus perk, but not free.

So if the movies cost 10$ to go to, but one of the theaters is throwing in free popcorn when you buy a ticket, the popcorn ain't free cause you gotta buy the ticket?

Not free, sure, but it's def an added value.

Those services are overrated regardless, I haven't ended any of the games they give out monthly

shyts be old(something I already played) or just trash

None of this matters. You aren't getting anything "free" if you have to PAY for access. That idea defies logic.

I agree it's not "technically" free.

It's part of your subscription.

I don't give a fukk

The OP is right.

Those games arent free, you are paying for a service that includes those games.

Who gives a flying fukk about the semantics of it tho. If you want to break it down into direct monetary amounts, the value supersedes the cost in entry multiple times over.

Well technically, if you download more than 50 dollars worth in a year, those after the 50 dollar mark would be considered "free"

Did i say it didnt? I think its a great value for what you get, but its not free! The games are part of a package that you pay for.

Actually you didn't. You didn't say anything about its value. Not in my quoted post or anywhere else in this thread prior to the post that I am now currently quoting. Are you even aware of what you say at this point in the game?

The topic isnt about the value of PS+ its about whether or not those games are free. That is what my original post addresses.

You came into a topic specifically about whether or not those games are free and started bringing up the value of the subscription package. Turn your fanboyism down a bit.

Has shyt to do with any fanboyism tho. Thread is stupid and basura. As is co-signing it like it means anything.

 

[MeachTheMonster]

So EA access games are "free"?

How about gamefly games?

Used to love buying consoles back in the day...back when devs had very little money to work with but still developed full games. A time where DLC was on the wishlist alongside "Mortal Kombat vs Street Fighter" in Junior High School banter. And that lasted for a while..Dreamcast had "DLC" but it was more a fanservice affair, it wasn't until Xbox decided to pack shyt you used to be able to unlock just by playing the game (Costumes, stages , weapons, etc) that I knew it was gonna be the facepalm of the century...Half complete AAA titles, nickel and dime skins , and "season" passes.

And so the exodus continues gentlemen, those seeking the promise land aka the Nassau of video games, will join the PC community due to piracy, because in this "final hour" of gaming, I'd like to know I wasn't swindled and smiling about it, I'd like to know I rebelled even in the slightest, against what are now corporations looking out for themselves.
