I'm sure all of these new PS+ subscribers didn't pay money to have a chance to become a beta tester. The PS+ subscribers that were subscribers prior to this announcement may not have paid to be a KZ3 beta tester, but those who just became a subscriber most definitely did. Keep on drinking that Koolaid, bro.
As for MAG / Zipper vs. KZ2 / GG, I don't know how you can argue how these 2 first party devs treated their fans and how they patched their games. Zipper came out with 4 patches. They fixed most issues people had with the game and actually listened to the fanbase for the most part. Sure, they sometimes screwed up the game with their patches and the game isn't perfect, but what online game is?
What has GG done to KZ2 that makes them so worthy of GAF's praise and worship? Absolutely shit, that's what. People like me, Lince, and the various hardcore fans on the official forums have listed so many flaws with KZ2 for months on end, hoping GG will fix at least half of the things wrong with the game, but all they did was change the way the game controlled (which didn't need to be changed) and immediately started work on KZ3.
Face it, GAF is a bunch of graphic-whore fanboys that love defending extremely flawed games and their developers. They ignore glaring, game-breaking issues in favor of splurging on eye candy. Now, you guys are defending Sony's decision to make a money grab just so you can have a shot to play the beta, acting like PS+ is some sort of great service when most of you berated MS at one time or another in the past for their shitty business practices. I predict most of you won't even provide substantial feedback to GG and are going to treat this "public" beta as yet another glorified demo.
You must not have been there when GAFA consistently beat GAFe the first 2-3 months of KZ2's release. Heck, even GAFE (GAF East) beat GAFe the first month of the game's release. I still remember us beating them in a best of 5 series of games, after the 3 or 4 US GAF clans merged into GAFA... with us winning 3 of the 5 games. They deny it ever happened to this day, but it did happen. It's hilarious how they're still holding onto that "tournament" they won when GAFA and many other top-tier KZ2 clans didn't even participate in it. Yes, Euro GAF did eventually destroy GAFA when most of our good players finally gave up on the game due to GG not patching the game.
