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

PS Now is a streaming service that will stream old games at ridiculous prices. EA Access is all next gen games and only $30 a year. Not to mention it has the same exclusive trials and discounts PS+ has. Its much more like PS+ but in reality it competes with both of them.

MicroSony would be compelled to add better games if EA is offering next gen titles at a much lower subscription price.

You still need PS+/Gold to play games online. You can't replace PS+/Gold with EA Access. People aren't going to unsubscribe from PS+/Gold to subscribe to EA Access.

 

Edit: Digi30 said pretty much the same thing.

You can't replace EA Access with PS Now, either. You'll be paying a lot more money to access older non-EA games. But EA Access shares many more elements with PS+ than it does PS Now. And online play is exactly why the selection has been such hot garbage so far. There's no need for them to get big games to draw in customers anymore, it's wasting money. The draw to EA Access is still the vault of free games. Too bad Sony said no thanks.
