Forums - Gaming Discussion - Ubisoft interested in EA Access like program, thinks it's good for publisher brands

Well, everyone prepare for this shit to become normalized and the free games Microsoft and Sony were giving us to be gimped now. Because they damn sure won't include EA or Ubi titles after these services take off. Then eventually they won't include 2k, Activision, Konami, Namco, Square or Capcom either.

Yeah, I won't be supporting this.. We're paying less for content and ownership of our games as it is. And just like how DLC started well, these companies will always find news ways of squeeze more out of consumers and lock away more content. Things should have been included in the first place.. With online passes, microtransactions and now this. Nope. I don't have any faith in these companies at all - in not screwing us over.

If this takes off.. this will probably be the last generation gaming for me. At least on consoles.

This. I'm not quitting console gaming, but the nickeling and diming and milking consumers dry has to stop.

square enix and capcom have hardly enough games per year to make that kind of deal interesting, even activision couldn´t probably do it, since they only have crappy movie games and call of duty (and skylanders, but you can´t play that without additional hardware, so it wouldn´t make sense

Maybe not Capcom but might still not stop them from doing it. Square Enix are Eidos, they have plenty of games. Activision makes more sense, they could put 3 or 4 year old CoDs on there, no one is buying those new by then and anyone using the game is eating up resources and just costing them moeny. Adding a service like this provides them with extra income on old games.



Hmm, pie.

~~~~ Mario Kart 8 drove far past my expectations! Never again will I doubt the wheels of a Monster Franchise! :0 ~~~~

After how well uplay panned out I am just on the edge of my seat in anticipation.

hardly comparable with ea multiple yearly sport franchises+battlefield+bioware games+other stuff like nfs, mirrors edge, star wars battlefront or pvz,

activision access would have to be really cheaper or it would pale in comparision
