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

Their financial problems began before well before their $8 a month strategy. That's something they started doing in recent months. I've completed numerous games on the service and it generally worked fine.

The biggest reason for OnLive's failure is weak support. That's a death sentence for any platform.

Ok fair enough. But seeing that $8/month is basically 60% more than PS+ but on PSNow that could give you access to north of 1k titles in the future, and each publisher wanting a slice I find hard to believe it would cost less than 20 month... If $3/month is good value on 4/5 games on EA, imagine how much it would be with 20-30 publishers and thousand of games.

Realisticlly, if PS Now gets a monthly plan it'll only be for access for selection of games (maybe 100 titles?) not the entire PS Now library.

Anyhow, I think $5 - $10 is reasonable for a month acccess to a single game depending on the value of the game on the market. However, some games charging $15 for 30 days or even $50 for 90 days of access is ridiculous. Sony shouldn't allow that because, "it's not a good value for the Playstation gamer."

Pricing is dependent of the publisher, but I do agree that Sony should regulate it enough that bizarre cases don't appear (games putting a 50 dollars for 90 days access are probably because of publisher knowing the game don't have much replay value and if it was retail the game would be resold, and probably wouldn't take even one month to finish... sadly there are a lot of games and publishers like that).

Well let's see what they offer for subs... how many games a month, what is the poll, etc... then we can discuss a fair price for that.
