Its not an issue in the larger sense of demo vs no demo. As many users have pointed out demos are rare in general nowadays. The issue, as troll whisperer is pointing out, is that we did have a demo last year and now we don't, and what will be next.
People who can't see how this is going to turn into timed DLC for EA Access or worse are sad. I mean, people praising this service for what? A year old FPS, Peggle and two nearly out of date sports titles? Yeah, I am sure they're ecstatic, it has nothing to do with "console wars"
Once Sony turned it down it fanned the flames of the console wars that turned fence sitters into advocates and foot soldiers for a product that shows little to no value and carries a dangerous precedent.
If EA can get away with it, other companies surely can and likely will. Just wait, I bet it happens much faster than we think. The next round will be DLC timed exclusive because then people will say "well if you dont like it just wait, its no different than sony or MSFT doing it (which it is but thats another topic), its great value" and then next round of sports titles will be online only for EA Access after they flood the service with "value". And then people are too vested to pull out.
