And that would be fine, I don't think the amount of content is the problem, it's the disingenuous claims initially. If it had been called DriveClub Prologue, there wouldn't be any complaints.
Tracks and cars are fully unlocked for $60.
What part of free to Plus members did I mince?
The whinging in this thread is fucking hilarious.
Fully featured, but with scaled back content. That's been the deal from the start. What has changed?
You guys should let me on that free PS+. Because I paid good money for my subscription.
Also that guy on the last page going on about entitlement... Come on now, really?
Some people complaining really want to stress the fact that the content we are getting is not free. At the very least can we please acknowledge how much we are actually paying for said content?
We are not paying $49.99 for it. We are paying $49.99, divided by twelve-months equals $4.16, divided by the six games we have been getting each month equals $0.69
sixty-nine cents.
This is assuming you paid full price, which many of us haven't.
sixty-nine cents feels like a good value proposition to me.

It says in the OP there is oneIf there is no platinum trophy (which I care about, others may not) and it really is a demo-ized version of the game, I really hope something else is given to PS4 users that month as well.
On top of that, they told us the game would be out at LAUNCH and then when they very quietly delayed that, they only told us it would be ready 'soon' but refused to give a date. All those people who bought PSPlus subscriptions with their PS4 expecting to get Driveclub soon will now have to buy another PSPlus subscription if they want to play it more than a month. Putting us through that delay should have made us get a better version of the game, it sounds like they probably took more out of it to get more purchases and try to make up the cost of the delay. It's okay to not defend the company when they do something shady, and this certainly seems like it could fit.
Don't pay for PS+ and see how much of this game content you get access to.
I've always planned on picking up the full version of this game anyway, so never expected much out of this slim-line demo version.
Do we know the full game's track and car count?
Here's the Horizon demo. A good chunk of the world plus a few races and cars.
The free part.What part of free to Plus members did I mince?
?
Are new games free to those who pay 60 bux for them?
The free part.
I'm a Plus member, but I still pay a fee for every month.
The month they give me a demo is wasting my money.
Absolutely this.They never said initially that we were getting DriveClub. They said we were getting the PS+ Edition. They've always been careful to call it that.
The disingenuous bit is saying that edition is only missing a few cars and tracks, which obviously isn't the case. Bad bad and hopefully Rushy will chime in on it, but nobody was disingenuous with the name of the game.
You say that now, but if companies started selling demos for any amount, however small, there would be a huge uproar.
We've seen 5 countries so far: Chili, Norway, Scotland, India, Canada.
So you're getting at most 20% of the full game.
I never claimed they called it normal DriveClub. My point was 'PS+ Edition' isn't a phrase they'd ever used before, so it's not something that conveyed the amount of content, so then we have to go to what they claimed, which is disingenuous.They never said initially that we were getting DriveClub.

Yeah they did a huge favor by putting in the subscription that we actually pay for.It is sickening...Just buy the full game i don't understand the griping at all. I think they are doing us a solid for even making a PS+ version
And they say you can still get the platinum trophy just through playing the PS+ version?!
It says in the OP there is one
You said this was okay because it's free to Plus members.I don't understand the need for more clarity. This version of the game will be free to Plus members.
Thats not whats happening here
I honestly see nothing wrong with them throwing a way to try this game for free with the PLUS subscription
Are we to assume this takes the place of a free game?
Yeah they did a huge favor by putting in the subscription that we actually pay for.

If they'd have called DC Prologue, there would be a content expectation with that name that people would have understood.

Can you describe the PS Plus version for us?
Yes, the PS Plus version will be the exact same as the full version, except that it may be missing a few assets such as cars or tracks, that will be found in the full version. However the online multiplayer, the asynchronous challenges and the single player campaign will all be present in the PS Plus version. The PS Plus version gives us to the biggest open community, day one. This game is all about socialising.

Yes this seems correct. I don't have a problem if it's like an add-on along with another game for October.Other than the launch, PS+ has only done one game a month for PS4.
So yeah, if Drive Club is the only thing on PS+ that month for PS4, I think a lot of people are going to be mad. If it's just an extra and there's still a free game that month, I think people will view it as a cool little extra.
I don't understand the need for more clarity. This version of the game will be free to Plus members.
You said this was okay because it's free to Plus members.
I pointed out that I'm paying a subscription for games every month and, instead, I'm being given a demo.
I'm not keen on the precedent is sets; I don't want to be paying for demos with my subscription.
It isn't free when you're paying for access to that version via your PS+ subscription.
Trophy whores unite!Still enough to get the Platinum right?
That's all I need.
Also, you should take me out of the OP as a source. I was just repeating what I heard in this thread.
Other than the launch, PS+ has only done one game a month for PS4.
