Probably, then all will have their own services until they all crash.
And back and again.



The Points are things already discussed:

- EA is not trustworthy

- If it's a success other publishers will do the same (and would be very bad for the Industry)

- They just want your money money money, and want it in every way possible



This is probably even one of his most moderate rants. Has a point yet again.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Can people who say other publishers joining EA with the subscription would be bad for the industry explain themselves! Right now people seem to hate on it mainly because it's a X1 exclusive and/or that EA could potientialy remove their games from XBGold and PS+ and PS Now...

The escapist video is based on "what ifs" with unrealistic paranoia.



Around the Network

At the start... Nope... In the long run... Yep

He explained it in the video?  Basically, EA doesn't deserve our trust, and if EA is successful, then you're also talking about an Ubisoft service, and an Activision service and any major publisher who thinks they can cash in on it.  Eventually, you're paying for PSN, XBL, Origin, Activision, Ubisoft etc...  ergo, paying several hundred in just subscription fees.

well he explains why, simple: xbox live $60 + EAA $30 + Ubisoft (lets say $30) + if you have a ps4 too $60 = $180 yearly, remember this services is for old stuff they have, if you want a new game you will have to pay for it anyway.

"Oh but i have choices if i want the service or not" come tell me that when the exclusive content comes to the service only, or games that makes you subscribe, or even new games that comes first on the service, that's no doubt very fair for us consumers-.-

Or they lock demo's behind a pay wall, which EA has already done.

Yah because 10% discount of new games for people who buy 4 to 5 games per year is something everybody seem to ignore wgen they want to bash out EA Access over and over.

For someone like me (and many others) who buy more than 4/5 games from the big 3 (EA/Activision/Ubi) this is just a good deal and WILL save me money, it is simple math...

If you are not interrested into the vault and/or buying games just ignore the offer but stop pretending it is bad for others based on a lot of "what if" or "EA is not trustworty" or conspiration theories...
