Since I don't like most sports games, the initial EA Access offer doesn't appeal to me... I don't care about Madden NFL, FIFA, NHL and NFL Live.

So €25 for 1 year access to Battlefield 4 and Peggle 2? I have a PC where I could buy BF4 for 20 € (as retail version or as download in the Origin store) and keep it forever. Or I can play it completely free for 7 days with "Origin Play Time", which is more than enough for the single player campaign and some online matches. Peggle 2 is a small low budget title not worth more than 5 € (IMHO). And EA hasn't announced yet, when or how frequent further games will be added to EA access.

That said, EA was relatively consumer friendly in the PC sector the last years. They were one of the first big publishers with a fantastic Humble Bundle (Battlefield 3, Burnout Paradise Ultimate, C&C Red Alert 3 Uprising, Crysis 2 Max, Dead Space 1 + 3, Medal of Honor, Mirror's Edge, Populous, The Sims 3 + some DLCs) and a nice PopCap bundle (Peggle Deluxe, Bejeweled 3, Bookworm Deluxe, Escape Rosecliff Island, and Feeding Frenzy 2 Deluxe).

This year they gave away Dead Space, Plants vs. Zombies GOTY, Battlefield 3, Peggle Deluxe, The Sims 2 with all DLCs and Wing Commander 3 for free on Origin. And they offer "Game Time" for free, where you can play newer games like Titanfall, Battlefield 4 and Kingdoms of Amalur for 3 to 7 days... you can activate the free period when you have time for the game.

So they already gained a lot of trust back.
