The thing is they have to put in the same effort and money that they put in to convince developers to let them give away their game for the one's they've already given away that they would to try and get new ones. I don't think "well you let us do it before so let us do it again" will convince many developers to give them a freebie. I mean effort and money aside, some developers probably don't want to give their game away again. I mean a lot of games were given away fir hype or to promote dlc. There's also the fact that some developers might have been fine giving away games when only a small percentage actually had the service but are probably more reluctant now that it's mandatory for online on the current most popular console. I just think they'd much rather put that effort towards attempting to get new games rather than putting off the people that have been with the service the longest to make people that are reluctant to spend $5 on a 5 year old classic game. I mean, once again, people bitch when they give away a good game that's also old. I can't imagine what it would be like if they used that slot for a game that's that but they've also already given away.

I mean I get went you want those old games, but also realize it's easy easier said than done and doesn't do all that much for Sony. Really though, those games are mostly ultra cheap now. Just buy them.

Never heard of that Dragon Quest release, but it looks awesome. Wouldn't be surprise we get Heroes 2 announced as being localized at E3 at the Square show or something.

That apparently wasn't intentional and they were looking into it. Not sure if it's working now, though.

It was a mistake and they've been back on for at least a week.

Even if they did get turned off permanently you could still play the whole game offline.

Bearing that in mind, if anyone is on the fence about buying some games that could plausibly be PS+ freebies, make sure to do it at 10AM eastern time on Wednesday in order to maximize your chance of getting very upset within 3 hours of that.

Sound good to me, 2K16 is good for those who don't have it and despite the furore surrounding it I've never actually played Gone Home.

I hope NBA 2K16 is one of the games despite already owning it, but I'll believe it when I see it, it's only just barely outsold by Call of Duty, and the PS4 version is the bestselling version as-is.

Looks like this is legit, at least unless they change their mind. I checked the assets for that newsletter and there's an unused image for it:

There's absolutely nothing controversial about it, it's just a game with no killing, a female protagonist and gay people in it, so the shitstains got upset.

There's nothing actually controversial in the game itself, it was just a target for angry internet people.

when it came out some influential and immature proto-gamergaters bought it thinking it was a horror adventure but there's no ghost and if you know whats up you can trigger the credits in 45 seconds of play so they had a big baby reaction to it and a stigma developed.

its just a 90's kid nostalgia trip containing a personal story about the creator's family. I probably won't play it much but i'll totally b-line to the room with the snes carts to see some HD rendered nintendo plastic.

The controversy around Gone Home was really dumb, but it's actually a good game if you like exploration and environmental story telling.

Gone Home is a really good indie game that lets you get into the heads of people by rifling through their stuff. It's a bit simple but it tells a good story and the end legit made me choke up a bit.
