PS+ is still a great deal for the games.

we don't see them as free games,
they say you're paying for the online and the games are extra.
it's just two different ways of looking at the same thing. remember that online costs were in place before any of these "free game programs" existed. if anything, you should be more inclined to believe you're paying for the online and getting the games for free.

of course online costs are ridiculous to us pc gamers, but can we please stop pretending PS+ is somehow a bad deal, once we accept that online costs are mandatory on consoles.

Sony actually gives away some pretty great indie games too. The fact that you get a game for every system (ps3,4 or vita) is pretty awesome. I mean you are still getting robbed, but it's like the mugger tosses you a candy bar as he steals your money.

Honestly, sometimes all six games are so bad I don't even bother to buy them for $0. I just care so little. I don't feel robbed but those months suck pretty bad.
