And now all those "what ifs" and "speculations" that "didn't mean anything" when talking about EA Access are already being talked about by other publishers just a week later.
"Bonus content" (probably actually on-disc content) locked behind a subscription, betas locked behind a subscription, demos locked behind a subscription, discounts locked behind a subscription....I wouldn't doubt it if particular game modes would get locked behind a subscription.
In order to fully enjoy games, you'll have to start being subscribed to every publisher. Xbox fans: you can keep trumpeting EA Access because Sony (voluntarily, mind you) doesn't have it, so you can use it as a talking point to make the XBone look more appealing, but when all the "what ifs" start coming to fruition, don't say you weren't told so. We've already got the first rain drop for the eventual flood just waiting to drop.

Exactly. The future of gaming is under threat from tighter restrictions and publishers pushing a sales model like this. There's so many ways they could leverage this service to get people on board, and once they have secured a part of the market, expect them to be ruthless to take the rest.

The problem is people who support crap like this.EA access is a rip off when you have simething like PS+ or free demos that benefit the company and the consumer.EA was the one supporting DRM.How quickly people forget.
