If you could download all those titles it would destroy Gamepass. Unfortunately you can only download a select few and literally "Stream" the others. (Still, 300 game downloads is pretty sick)
Decent deal though for a shit ton of games.

And that's on console, PC is 100% streaming. The back catalog is nice, but that's all it really is. Will probably finally get to try God of War at some point with it though, if they start putting first party titles on there sooner than a year and a half after release it may compare better to Game Pass.
Maybe Stadia and xCloud may change some habits to be more conducive w/ a service like they're offering too.
IMO, like cross-buy and cross-play, PS Now is going to be another service Sony failed to capitalize on only to watch others come along and be much more successful with the concept / service.
In the end though, price is right, that's a great move in itself.

Forever is relative, if its Sony first party its forever but Ubisoft and a few other companies have pulled games from PSNow as they built competing services

Kinect, round 3!
Also Shawn Layden resigned from Sony this week, lot of rumors flying around that things aren't going well at Sony publishing with a lot of confusion on marketing and messaging and devs saying the PS5 stuff is going a lot rougher than PS4 around same time before release. I hope its just scuttlebutt and not true, Sony killed it this generation with PS4 and it would be weird if they shot themselves in the foot before its even out.

official Sony PS5 press release
blog.us.playstation.com
Since we originally unveiled our next-generation console in April, we know that there’s been a lot of excitement and interest in hearing more about what the future of games will bring. Today I’m proud to share that our next-generation console will be called PlayStation 5, and we’ll be launching in time for Holiday 2020.
To that end, there are two key innovations with the PlayStation 5’s new controller. First, we’re adopting haptic feedback to replace the “rumble” technology found in controllers since the 5th generation of consoles. With haptics, you truly feel a broader range of feedback, so crashing into a wall in a race car feels much different than making a tackle on the football field. You can even get a sense for a variety of textures when running through fields of grass or plodding through mud.
The second innovation is something we call adaptive triggers, which have been incorporated into the trigger buttons (L2/R2). Developers can program the resistance of the triggers so that you feel the tactile sensation of drawing a bow and arrow or accelerating an off-road vehicle through rocky terrain. In combination with the haptics, this can produce a powerful experience that better simulates various actions. Game creators have started to receive early versions of the new controller, and we can’t wait to see where their imagination goes with these new features at their disposal.
Doom Eternal also pushed back from Nov 2019 to March 20, 2020
also a PSVR game sale later today

Pretty sure I'll just shut off "haptics" immediately same as I do rumble now. The only thing that shit is good at is draining the DS4's battery much faster than with it off.
The trigger thing sounds interesting, but probably will wind up just another gimmick.
