Finally. So tackling Tekken and Ace Combat it is for me this month. That should leave some time for other games again.
I don't understand what is so hard to always add this info, and always at the same time, within the games coming blog post, or alternatively make a second post, to highlight them even more. Leaving is kinda more important than what's getting added, since it's last chance. At least I plan my gaming time around those and add the maybe even more interesting additions to my backlog for later, when I have extra time or they become the leaving games.
Why do they negotiate these short term contracts? All it does is diminish the value of the service.
Quite the opposite imho. Having all must haves and considered good games always in there, first and third party, would be nice, of course, but it costs money, it probably brings no new subscritions if it would be too static.
I want a rotation of games and not the same 700-800 games all the time, so of course some deals will need to end, in order to have other new deals to replace them and bring some fresh stuff for long subscribers and not bore them. As it is, way too many complain about already having all the new games or some other weird shit, as though Sony has to offer some plan for each and every user to offer actual value. Subs are for buffet gamers, if you want specific games order them a la carte. Plus Essential let's you keep its games, but the upper tiers are temporary rents and should not be treated or expected to be some forever license. Play them while they are in it if you really care about them.
We can't expect them to grow the catalogue forever. Just the streaming side is already insane with all Extra and Premium games being available at once. I mean even assumed with smaller average game sizes of just 10GB multiplied by the number of games it exceeds the standard console storage easily. I guess some convoluted raid system is in place at every center, costing a fortune for the PS5 system, also copying the respective savegame back and forth all the time to the assigned unit is probably quite the challenge.
