I have a number of games in my PS Plus games collection that I just wasn’t getting around to finishing. I used to buy a 3 or 12 month subscription back when it was cheaper. Also stopped XBox Live subscription for my 360 when prices were increased, though at least I get to finish the games. Other than the price increase, I stopped subscribing because I wasn’t finishing what I had/wasn’t interested in the games on offer.
