Indeed, giving the consumers more options is an anti-consumer business. 

Anyway not giving away new games and discounts on purchases is not so good for 30$ a year

But not giving away new games and discount for 50$ (PS+) is good right ^^'? 

Then we are not even talking about the advantage that people know what they will get for 30$ a year but not with ps plus for 50$ a year..

If you can stop for a second and stop making this a sony vs. thing then you may understand where I am coming from.

We are talking games and discounts here. Thats basiclly what this service does right? PS+ is doing it, XBL is doing it and now EA access.

Again, games and discounts.

I am sorry, I would rather pay $50 and get "games and discounts" from every publisher as it is now rather than pay on a publisher by publishr basis. Cause if this thing takes off, next thing you know ubisoft has theirs, activision, take 2...etc. Before you know what more and more vlue will be leveraged behind these "services" to the point where not paying for it would seem stupid......

So no, down the road I don't see how this is good value. I don't see why adding yet another service to do something that a service is already in place to do is a good thing especially when it reduces the value of the already existing service. Be it PS+ or XBL. 

at first i was all like why would sony stop anyone from the choice as that has been their platform for a while now...

...but that is a good point.  i wasn't thinking about EA pulling all their games and discounts from ps+.   i would hate, hate having to have a sub to every publisher to get the discounts i currently enjoy on ps+.  i guess we can see how things develop on xbox but as of right now sony has been better for consumers than EA.  if sony says this plan was bad than it makes me wonder what the final product looks like.
