While I still think Sony could do a little better with diversifying their active portfolio of games, I have to admit looking at this makes me feel better about the PS5 library going forward.

So, if Jaffe's right about Sony doing something like Game Pass (and based on Jim's comment, he may be), does anyone think that they'll actually pull the trigger on their FP games? Doing so would basically be a Disney+ situation where their library seems so ridiculously attractive to the public that they'd instantly get a massive number of subscribers to whatever service it's going to be.

At this rate, we might have as many PS Studio OTs as there are PS Studios remaking or remastering ND, Guerilla and SMS titles.

A counter-punch doesn't necessarily have to be the same exact type of service in response, but I would assume something service related.
