This sounds like a ploy to co opt used game sales to me. They just want that piece of the pie from Gamestop too. |
How so? It's not like EA has stopped making physical games. They are just giving a discount for those who purchase the subscription, along with access to some older games. It's a great deal, no matter how you look at it. If Gamestop wants to compete, they can start by price matching like almost every other retailer.

This will instantly lower the value of the physical games. Why would you buy A used EA physical copy game now? You can get ALL of them for $30. This deal is only there to give them that "second hand" revenue at the expense of their own games value and anyone else's ability to get a piece of that pie.
If your context is what is that you want the value of software to remain high then this is not a deal. It's a cheap death to content rich games for the future. It's why you can't hardly find such games on mobile. They call the games Free to Play but it came with a huge price for all future software on the platform.

Pretty sure DVD/Blu Ray still sell at full retail price. The fact that the movie will be on Netflix or the many other video streaming sites doesn't lower the $20 price tag or whatever retail dvd/blu ray go for these days.
