Define this content?

If it's just demos or some subscriber goodies, who the hell cares? If it's full blown games exclusive only to the service, it's a suicidal move, because that game will never sell well.

I'm talking like exclusive DLC. We've already seen it being locked behind preorders and limited editions this gen. I just find it hard to trust EA but we'll see. 

They would lose a shit ton of money if they gave exclusive DLC. We'll see, but EA would be idiots if they gave any noteworthy DLC only to subscribers.

That being said, if it's only a few costumes or non-essentials, who really cares? 


Some kind of already do this, though. Preorder X version of X game and get the X DLC FREE! And they wouldn't be idiots, because people WOULD pay for exclusive DLC. Because they already do, just in different forms.

You're putting a lot of faith in these companies to believe this concept wouldn't be abused, especially when EA and Ubisoft don't have a great track record as it is. Why is it in any way good for the consumer to be gated off from content, even what you consider non-essentials? Just because it's a 'choice' to pay for a subscription doesn't mean it's inherently a benefit to us.
