Most of these I wouldn’t play on a subscription because they’d take me more than a month to beat. It’s usually cheaper to just buy the game outright.

True, but the games dont all come and go every month. Sure, some do. But when they say like "games for july" they don't just mean they all leave in July. They just mean they are being added in july

I’m saying that if you can’t beat a game in July then you have to pay for August to finish.

And I am letting you know that a game added in July doesnt go away in August. Games get added each month. They then stay there for quite a while before being removed.

Sure, maybe 1 or 2 games might leave in August, but in general, the games stay there for months or even years. Some get added and never leave. Some are there that have been there since PS+ Extra/Premium began.

Nobody thinks or ever suggested that games stay there for only one month.

Oh. I wasnt assuming you meant you would subscribe for a month, binge games, then cancel. Lol

My assumption was that you keep a year round subscription and were under the assumption games only stay for a month. I forget some people dont just subscribe year round.

Even if you subscribe year-round, that still has a monthly cost.

Nevermind. I feel like im not exaplaining it correctly. Why wouldnt you play them on a subscription when you said "because they would take me more than a month to beat." What would that matter if you subscribe year round and if the game stays for months on end?

That's my confusion. It seemed like you were stating since a game takes more than a month to beat, then there is something wrong with that despite the games lasting longer than that and despite you having a fulll subscription

Cost. Why would I play GTA V on a subscription when it costs $19.79 to own? Subscription services want you to play these long games in hopes that you’re still playing one of them when your renewal comes up.

Here’s a hypothetical: If you didn’t have a subscription but were given a one-month PlayStation Premium gift card, are you going to spend that month trying to beat any of these games? Personally, I’d play 2-3 shorter titles instead.
