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 a possibility and people completly ignore that.

I don't really see much good happen from this. I mean I absolutely get that this can very much be a service that pays off for some people, so I understand if someone wants to subscribe to this, but I don't know I'm just not too thrilled about the idea of subscribing to a publisher. I just hope this does stay completely optional and unintrusive and won't have any real content locked behind it.
