Game-sharing has garnered a notorious reputation in the time it has been available. Since its reveal at [Sony] Gamer's Day '06, Sony has stated that game-sharing encourages a sense of community among gamers and helps bring them together. However, not everyone agrees with Sony nudging you to share the wealth.

Great recommendations, I love all the games listed that I've played so far. Going a bit stir-crazy with the constant WFH during this time. Thanks!!

WTMG's Leo Faria: "Flower is a gorgeous, well-crafted and relaxing game, but I have to say, I don’t get the massive love towards it. Its “story”, if you can call it that, is far from deep and thought-provoking as some say it is, its duration is borderline insulting for its asking price, and it just doesn’t motivate you to replay it after you’re done with its half a dozen levels. Sadly, Flower isn’t as meaty as it should be. A fair point in a way, given it’s a game about plants…"
I have a couple of friends I game share with on a regular basis, am I cheating the developers? Perhaps. Is it really that damaging to Sony? I don't think so. I regularly buy PSN games that I wouldn't take the risk of purchasing or have limited interest in due to the fact that I will share that game with friends and in turn they will buy some titles I haven't.
At the end of the day, all three of us spend a lot more money on PSN titles due to the perceived added value.
That Sony originally touted this as a way to offset the price of a $600.00 console.
If a player logs into his PlayStation 3 account on a friend's system, he can download any game he has already purchased. "You can send that content to four other friends for that initial investment," said Tretton. "We want to get the game in as many hands as possible."
"It's not about generating profits at each and every interaction with the consumer," he said. "I think that really offsets the argument that says, 'Wow, that's a really pricey system.'"
