PS+ Subs
Polygon recently published a breakdown of all the games we got for free in 2016

Was just wondering what your thoughts on this year's lineup was?
In terms of the games that stood out for me, I really liked:
- Grim Fandango
- Broforce
- I am Alive (played back on PS3)
- Zombi
- Gone Home
- Furi (have only demoed)
- Saints Row GOoH
- Resident Evil
- Everybody's Gone to the Rapture
- Stories: The Path of Destinies
That being said, after reviewing Microsoft' games with gold lineup...well Sony was basically blown out of the water. To be fair, Microsoft has 1 less system to worry about, and has made their games backwards compatible.

Going forward, it would be great if we could get some old classics and AAA games as well as the quality indies. Don't bother dropping the older indies that no one wants just to inflate the value...save up the money for the next month. It would also be useful to focus funds on the current generation, rather than the old gen and handheld. Providing a single PS3 game and a single PS Vita game (or cross compatible games) is more than enough.
TBH, I am surprised that we still haven't gotten Killzone Shadowfall.
Edit: Just wondering, if PS+ wasn't required to play online games, would you still subscribe to the service? Same goes for any Xboners who are subbed to games with gold.
Personally, I think I would keep my subscription as I have played many of the games on offer, and regularly take advantage of the additional discounts when ps store has a sale.

For me, however, the real value of PS Plus are the great little games I would never have bought. In fact, I don't have the time to play all the games I've downloaded form PS Plus over the last 2 years. Gone Home is the best example of this for me. It's just a gem that I would never, never have bought. Saints Row: Gat out of Hell is another solid little title that I would have overlooked if it had not been free. Zombi is actually a legit AAA game that was overlooked because it was originally tied to the WiiU. I would rather have these types of games show up every month than Killzone Shadowfail. This year is also starting off great with a remastered classic and highly lauded survival/activist game. My biggest problem with PS Plus is buying games that end up free later. That happened with Journey, Transformers Devastation, and a couple of other heartbreaking purchases. This usually happens because game sales are the best benefit of PS Plus. That's right, PS Plus membership gives you extra discounts on games that show up in weekly deals and flash sales. This is how I spend most of my gaming dollars, and I picked up the aforementioned Killzone Showfail last spring for $5 from PSN.
