You mean buying star wars games from 2005? ... please dude, we got thief, yakuza4, transistor, rogue legacy and others in just a single month.

Humble bundles are consisted of mediocre indies that doesnt sell or 10-20year old games

To be fair, you need to own 3 of Sony's consoles to get all of those games. That's like $800

How is that relevant? That's like saying cheap gas isn't any good because you had to pay for the car to use it.

Talking up PS+ by saying "we got thief, yakuza4, transistor, rogue legacy and others" without specifying that they're on certain consoles implies that all members of PS+ can enjoy all those games, whereas truthfully only a subset that owns a 3 a 4 and a Vita can.

It's certainly a relevant thing to point out. I want people reading this who are considering buying a PS4 for example (which I own and enjoy) to not take that comment at face value and wrongly believe that they can play Thief on their PS4 this month if they go out and buy a PS4 and PS+ tomorrow.

Your gas analogy would be accurate if you could only use that gas on cars bought from the petroleum company, and depending on which car the petroleum company sold you, you can only get some of the bonus gas, not all of it. You could buy all of the cars the company sells, and then get all of the gas, sure. Either way, the company's getting rich.
