Sony tried to justify the sudden and controversial removal of some beloved exclusive PlayStation from the PS Plus Premium catalog, including Resistance: Fall of Man, Resistance 2 and Infamous: Second Son.
The motivation? According to Nick Maguire, vice -president of PlayStation’s global services, “we have 80 games of games in the catalog, so we want to keep it fresh and insert new titles. Sometimes it means removing some games to make the proposal interesting and help users discover new experiences. “
An explanation that sounds corporate as vague – and that leaves several questions.
The controversies broke out above all for resistance games, which were only available in streaming via PS Plus Premium for users without a PS3 (sightable in any case on Amazon). 
Now, unless you have the original hardware, these titles are completely unrecoverable. We are talking about works that, although not recent, represent pieces of playstation history and that many new fans would have liked (re) discover.
The choice is even more difficult to digest if we consider that the premium catalog certainly does not shine by abundance of classics (although in July PS1 fans have nothing to complain about), and that the titles in question are certainly not cannibalizing retail or digital sales, since they can be no longer purchased in any way.
In short, Sony seems to want to transform PS Plus into a constant flow of “novelty”, but forgets that the value of its offer also lies – and above all – in the conservation of videogame memory.
Removing inaccessible games elsewhere is not refreshing the catalog: it is to sink your inheritance. If you want to protect new users and attract others, you should offer more iconic games, no less. Resistance deserved resistance.
Speaking of PS Plus, the service celebrates its 15 years with special summer initiatives to thank the subscribers: read the details in the news.
