| DerNebel said: Wow buddy, how about you at the very least get your information right. What does PS+ do on PS3 and on Vita, where the online is free? Uhh it gets you games for "free". Also EA Access does not only let you download games, it also has that whole discount thing (incidently PS+ has the same, curious isn't it?), which is actually what EA really wants people to use (you know, buy more games digitally, so EA gets a bigger cut from each game sold) and the early access. The money EA has to pay MS is what every publisher has to pay the platform holder when they sell a game on their platform, the royalty fee, nothing more. Why the hell would they have to pay MS extra now for using their servers, that makes zero sense. Games that are bought on Xbox Live or PSN are always downloaded through the platform holders servers. PSNow on the other hand basically gives you the hardware to play your games as well, you don't just get the game and the whole streaming thing means constant costs on Sonys end. And regarding the bolded: That makes no sense, cause I'm currently not paying for PS+ or PSNow, I'm just sick of people making this retarded comparison between PSNow and EA Access, since it is obviously only made with the console wars in mind. |
What is PS+ primary focus for Sony at the moment? Hide the multi-player behind pay wall or offer not so "free" games?
The only real difference between PSNow and EA Access, is that we don't know yet if publishers are going to offer DLCs on PSNow at a discounted price.
EA and Xbox have been a long time partner. What is the clause agreed on MS letting EA use their servers? You don't know. Does it make sense for them to use it for free? No it makes no sense. What would be in it for MS then? There lies the answer for your question.
I don't want to know about the cost of business operation, I want to know the cost transfered by the businesses to me. How Sony and EA offer their services are not my problem.
If you didn't want me to state the bolded part you shouldn't have posted this "retarded" bolded statement:
"If you really can't see how those services are different and how it's completely irrational to expect similar prices from the two, then you must obviously be trying not to see it."
I would like for you to explain why is it "irrational" to expect price similarities between the two, when what you just doing is speculating EA's mo in this case.
Bring facts stating that EA operates EA Vault for free.
