Sony was right, EA access is a rip-off and needs to flop

If you honestly believe that not giving the consumer options to choose what they like is is good, you've bought far too much into the PR from Sony. 

 

What PR? I don't need Sony to tell me anything, once Access was announced and I looked into it i knew how bad it was. I didn't post this earlier because I was banned.

Needless to say, when Sony said what they said, i clapped. Couldn't be happier. Now i just hope they stick with their stance instead of doing a 180.

Oh really? And pray tell me, what's wrong with an OPTIONAL service that gives gamers discounts and access to a vast amount of games? If you don't like it, fine. But what you're saying is that NO other gamer should be able to decide if it is a good value for themselves, just because you don't feel it is.

What right do you have to decide for other gamers what's a good value and what's not? Can you answer that? No, because you don't represent every gamer, not even close. 

This is like someone wanting Netflix removed from game consoles just because they don't use it, and they feel it might compete with Sony's video store. Both Netflix and EA Access are completely optional services. Heck, EA access is cheaper than Netflix and doesn't even compete directly with any of Sony's services, the way Netflix does.

Your argument is flawed to the core, simply because you assume that everyone perceives value the same as you do, which they don't. That's why we have options in the real world. 

I don't see value in EA access because I don't play their games... but I'm pretty darned certain that a lot of people will... I even said in a different thread that it would be good to have a "cable plan" for PS4 where you can choose what publishers you want to have access.

EDIT: Vancell look at the thread I created for this http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=187837&page=1# and give your opinion.
