a lot of the people who get these games for free never would have bought them (or had already bought them), I could see how a fraction of a dollar from the subdivided subscription fee paid by each of these people in aggregate could largely equal or perhaps even exceed the losses from forgone sales to those who would have purchased but for the 'free' psplus license

The general consensus is that after the free period is up there are a lot more people who are interested in the game, and it actually boosts sales enough to make up for the difference.
Sony is just smart enough to know how to market this and make these games sell good enough to make publishers happy with the deal.

It's worth grabbing DmC on PC if you're anything more than just casually interested in the game. It runs at 30 fps on consoles, which makes it feel far less fluid than its predecessors thanks to the less distinct attack animations (making it harder to judge when to make the next input to continue a combo) and added input latency. On PC, it's extremely well optimized and will run at over 60 fps on even middling hardware.

Does anybody know the exact day these hit?
Another exciting thing was that I was checking the Sony store the other day and noticed that one of the games (I forget now.. maybe Lego Avengers or something) was up for a Flash Sale of 30% off or something along those lines. That's kind of exciting that they might actually be learning from Steam and doing sales on downloadable titles! I hope they do more of that stuff!
