The problem is how do you decide how that money gets split among the developers?

With many games and third party developers, generally the publisher makes their money back and then developers start getting some sort of royaly from each game (and there are many variations on that). So if EA were take $100 from you to play their backlog, how do you decide who gets the money?

Should that be counted as a sell for all those major games listed? What about the smaller ones? What about the ones I never play? How much of that subscription fee goes to EA and gets split among the chosen developers?

It seems like something like that would only screw the developers.

Well how does Netflix deal out the cash? The subscription provied pays them a license (maybe based on usage?)

But having said that, I don't really see what EA would actually get from that sort of money. It is less than 2 games and for hardcore gamers, it is going to be a complete steal, I just have to buy 1 EA game along with my FIFA each year to save myself some money which I have already done in the form of Mass Effect

I just don't see the financial gain for anyone from this deal

It could be interresting for them because I bought only one game from Capcom this gen. This means that no matter what they did I gave them only 60$ in 5 years because I had to buy every single games they produce but didn't feel like paying for them at all. Has there been a subscription I would've paid maybe 1 year or 2-3 years for playing all of their games. Then I would've gave what 4 times as much as I did just because I get the impression they'll release a good game in a year time. It doesn't matter how much they produce if people end up only buying Resident Evil. Why not make a subscription then...
