“We evaluated the EA Access subscription offering and decided that it does not bring the kind of value PlayStation customers have come to expect,” a Sony representative told us via email. “PlayStation Plus memberships are up more than 200% since the launch of PlayStation 4, which shows that gamers are looking for memberships that offer a multitude of services, across various devices, for one low price.
LOL, are you sure this doesn't have anything to do with.. idk, putting online play behind the paywall?
We don’t think asking our fans to pay an additional $5 a month for this EA-specific program represents good value to the PlayStation gamer.”
Oh, I guess that explains all the other subscription services you have on PSN and of course PS Now, which has pretty steep prices.
Remember guys, #4theplayers. Looks like Sony just doesn't like competition to their services on the platform. But I guess not providing consumer options is ok this time? I see some people are already lapping it up and even giving Sony praise for making decisions for them.
