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

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. 

As I already said, EA access = no EA games on PS+. It is not "completely optional" because it steals away from the sub we already pay for.

If Ea wants to put its games on a sub, put it on PS+

That's the "kind of value Playstation players have come to expect". 

PS+ and EA Access are 2 completely different services, which is why you can't combine them. I would love for my PS+ to cover a Netflix subscription, a Music Unlimited subscription, a Hulu+ subscription, and give me a 10% discount on any content I purchase ever. That isn't feasible, though. This is the real world, where companies have to look out for themselves and make money, and EA sure as hell won't be making money by freely giving PS+ subscribers access to potentially hundreds of games and discounts. 

If that's the "kind of value Playstation players have come to expect" why the hell are people paying seperately for services like Netlix and Music Unlimited? Shouldn't Sony remove those services since they aren't a good value since they aren't included in PS+?
