according to puggsly you are a parasire if you vote with your wallet.

Me buying PS4 and Plus is me voting, they give me an option and it is PS and Plus.  MS snake oiled all their fans, luckly i never got gold as i saw its value was lolz compared to plus on PS4.


Not even close. According to Puggsly if you want to enjoy a product but don't want to contribute to the company that produced it, you're a parasite.

Go look back at this thread and you'll see what I am referring to.

I'm surprised this guy doesn't get banned... more often.

Yet PS Now is somehow a great value. $15 a month to play FFXIV is also a great value. Go figure!

The rest of your points were good and well made. But stop comparing this to PS Now, it's not the same. 



Hmm, pie.

Let me get this straight: so with PS Now you pay a subscription for individual games that they make available to stream from Sonys servers? And with EAA you pay a subscription fee for a number of games that they make available through MS servers? So the difference is mainly the streaming part? :)

by the end of this gen i will have a $50 plus servvice.

you will have Gold 60 Ea 30, ubi 30, t2 30, SE 30, Acti 30 and so on.  Enjoy hundredths of $ a year in extra services.

Ill side with sonys view, their mentality is best pro me pro PS owner.  MS is pro diping in your pocket a dozen times, but you are ok with it as long as they make $.  Or are we pretanding ms is not making $ from this.  

If I'm subscribing to all those services, they all must be doing a great job appealing to me. Which is... unrealistic. I would only subscribe to the services that appeal to me.

Also, if I'm paying for all those services. That means I'm getting access to significantly more content than a person only subscribing to PS+. Did you consider that?

I'm okay with MS allowing options. Even some Sony fans want EA Access, but they can't have it because Sony is the arbiter of good values. Yet PS Now is somehow a great value. $15 a month to play FFXIV is also a great value. Go figure!

lol Now is in beta, and its a rental.  What is so hard for you to understand about that ???

EA Access is a subscription service which allows you to download and play 4 games, as well as limited 'demos' of games and discounts off EA games. Their servers probably just hold the download file for the games and the login process. This service is only available on Xbox One

PS Now is is a streaming service where by you essentially rent the ability to play a game (just 1 if you want) from a remote location, the game is not downloaded and you play the game from Sony's servers. This service is currently to be released on PS4, PS3, Vita and Sony TVs. You just need a controller.

 

EDIT: I can't believe I'm actually having to explain this to people.



Hmm, pie.

People here do understand that EAA, PS Now, PS+ and XBLG are all rental services, right?

I'd hope so and people are arguing over who they want to give their money to for not owning a damn thing. Rediculous.
