Its not rocket science..... What EA is doing would be Ok if it was platform based not publisher based. eg. Say it was just another service you get cause you are already paying for the XBL service or the PS+ service. But as it stands, being publisher based, if its successful then expect activision, ubisoft, take 2...etc to follow suit. next thing you know we have a situation where things like demos, dlc and even game discounts are all behind a paywall and the consumer expected to subcribe to an ever increasing number of services to get the most out of all his/her content. What EA has done, is basically look at PS+ and go, hey... we can do that too. make our own service, give out free games too, give out discounts too..etc and we can get the consumer t pay us instead of having to piggy back on the platform holders service. If you don't see how this can ultimately become a bad thing then you are the ignorant consumer EA is hoping to take advantage of right now. Its notthat their service idea is bad, its just that its bad cause its on its own when it could just as easily been part of XBL. |
Copanies want your money of course, why let another cash in when you could do it yourself? Also what prevents Sony from releasing games exclusively on PSNow or lock demos on PS Now? It's like there's only the worst cases and not a wait and see approach or hey this could lead to good things for consumers. Like "gamers" know what's best for the industry.
@bolded... so because I think differently I'm an ignorant consumer? What should I do with my money, please enlighten me my lord!
