Yah because 10% discount of new games for people who buy 4 to 5 games per year is something everybody seem to ignore wgen they want to bash out EA Access over and over.

For someone like me (and many others) who buy more than 4/5 games from the big 3 (EA/Activision/Ubi) this is just a good deal, it is simple math...

If you are not interrested into the vault and/or buying games just ignore the offer but stop pretending it is bad for others based on a lot of "what if" or "EA is not trustworty"...

Uh yeah, no.  Trust is earned, not given.  The video gave you numerous reasons why he thinks it's bad, you can disagree, that's fine, but I strongly disagree with your assertion that trust should just be given, especially after being shown they aren't trustworthy time and time again.  That having been said, if people want to buy into it, that's their right and I hope they enjoy it, but I'll be waiting for quite some time after launch to see what they do with it.

Never said trust should be a given. But quite franckly a lot of people are just "following" the wave and do not really understand why they should not trust EA or are using EA as a perfect exemple of an evil publisher while they are nothing different than any other publisher out there like Activision, Sony, Ubisoft etc...

My point is that this is a business and like any other business out there (Activision, Ubisoft, Sony, etc.) they are not evil in any way and they are not trying to ruins gamers' life.

Also regarding points made in the video, the guy pretended that competition between the big publishers (for this kind of service) will result in bad things basicaly... Yeah right, because usually competition results in bad things for the consumers? Nope... I can list here a lot of other exemple from this video. The guy is just talking about a lot of "what if bad" and nothing about "what if good" like only bad and evil things happens from publishers.
