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.

So you really cannot see anything bad happening from every big publisher starting a service like this, which they obviously want people to subscribe to so they give them extra incentives in the form of locking content behind it? Seriously, I don't want a fucking game industry where I have to subscribe to a service like this whenever I want to get a game and don't want to have content locked away from me and I wouldn't put it past any of those publishers to do something like this.

EA Access's whole purpose is it for people to spend more money on EA content, after all you've already put down the $30 to get the 10% discount or the early access, so might as well get this game or piece of DLC that you originally didn't want to get, that's the whole psychological effect they are trying to create here.

No no no. I agree that the "what if bad thing happen" scenario is completly valid. Really, EA may screw up :)
But the "what if good happen" scenario is also an option and people completly ignore that.
