They know MS gamers will pay. As good as it sounds it reeks of exploitation and I don't like what is to come. MS opened the flood gates for Activision and EA.

I hope you realize that PlayStation gamers would just as easily pay. $30 a year for potentially dozens of games is an amazing deal, period.

It's like saying Amazon Prime or Netflix reek of exploitation, even though they are amazing deals.

Thats up to them. Doesn't make it any less exploitation. I'm not here to argue about it, but I saw the writing on the wall long ago with EA. it better not go beyond this.

How is it exploitation though? It's no less exploitation than PS+ or Xbox Live. I'm not understanding why you think this is a bad thing. Is it simply because it's EA?

This is a serivce that, for $30 a year, you get unlimited access to a bunch of EA titles, and not only that, you also get exclusive eary-access to certain games and you get 10% off EA game purchases. Best of all, it's completely optional. If you wish to own a physical copy, you still can. All of that for $30 a year, or less than $3 a month.

This seems like a brilliant corporate move, and I applaud EA for it.
