Ever since the program was first announced, Sony has been giving PlayStation Plus subscribers free games. It's one of the main draws of the program: sure, you're paying a few extra bucks a month to play online, but you're getting free games as a result. For thousands of subscribers, the trade-off is more than worth the asking price.
There is one drawback to the system, however: there's no way of choosing which games will be available for free. True, the selection of free PS Plus games is usually pretty great, but there will always be someone who won't have anything to get excited about. For years now, gamers have simply accepted it as a part of the program... but it looks like that needn't be the case for much longer.
NeoGAF user El_Cinefilo happened to stumble across a video in the UK version of the "What's New" section on his PlayStation 4 — one that described the "Vote to Play" feature. According to the video, some huge changes are headed to PS Plus: namely, the ability for gamers to vote on which free games become available each month.
Remember to take all this with a grain of salt: until Sony makes an official announcement, there's no way to tell if any of this is actually happening. That said, the photos are pretty convincing, and Sony giving players the power to choose which games they want for free isn't all that far-fetched an idea.
Who knows — maybe this time next month, PS Plus subscribers won't be waiting for Sony to announce its free games, but will be waiting to vote on them instead.
