I don't know, I don't think the PS Plus one is a scam. I subscribed to the mid tier one when it was cheaper for a whole year than to buy a game I wanted to play that was included with it. I've played a good half dozen to dozen games in the year I've had it. I feel like I've definitely got my money's worth out of it.
I was mostly referring to the last part of the article where the author explains the entire long-term plan behind the subscription services - first they offer a large variety of games for a low price, then they squeeze the customers for every single penny after they've cornered the market.
See how Netflix work out their hike etc? I don't think it would continue to work in their favor to meet the profit/sub count projection to make their stocker holder happy.
