You can get the DLC free, but you can also buy it seperately if you don't pre-order the game.

I can see people getting free DLC with the subscription, but exclusive? Nah. EA will sell the DLC seperately for people who don't care about the sub, and they can buy it just like they always have.

I don't trust the companies, but I do know exclusive major DLC would be stupid in terms of finances.

What about console exclusive DLC, which already exists? Wouldn't that be even more stupid finacially, since a console is a much, much larger investment than a month subscription to something? Even if it's timed, it's actively taking something away from consumers that don't have the console/subscription. There is NO win for us in these scenarios. And I'm still dubious that they wouldn't be greedy enough to lock away content completely. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt on that one, though, since this is all hypothetical, of course.

Console DLC is smart financially because of the boatload of money said publishers make from Sony/Microsoft/Nintendo. They get compensated for any loss of sales on other platforms.

That wouldn't be the case here.
