EA still in bed with MS? Even after they put all their eggs in one basket in terms of Azure (in terms of competing against the secondhand market), thinking XBone was going to completely demolish the PS4 and making Titanfall exlcusive to Microsoft....and all of that failing in one way or another, they still make an XBone exclusive service?
Either EA and MS are just the best friends ever, or MS paid them a good sum of money. Speculation, sure, and it doesn't really matter at the end of the day, since it's making XBone more attractive...but I don't see any other legitimate reason, business-wise, why they would do this.
And I'm going to assume that this will require a Live sub as well right? So $90. They'll obviously add more content and combine that with the discounts, it'll start paying for itself. Despite the steep initial cost, it's still a great deal.
Thing is, if I've learned anything from these forums, "paying for itself", as in, if you bought those games separately, you will have already spent $30+ on 1 or 2 games, and you get a whole year of games; and "renting" games, in general, don't matter to Xbox gamers. We'll see how this plays out.
