Can we stop down playing ea access now?

[Intrinsic]

Are some people really this blind to what EA access can start?

EA access as a service is a really good idea, so is PS+ or XBL. But at the heart of every service the whole point is to get more and more people subscribing to the service. Best way to do that is to add value to the service. So this is what EA will do.

- Early access (game demo) becomes locked to the service
- discounts (something that everyone should do) becomes locked to the service
- DLC comes to subscribers of the service first
- Subscriber exclusive content (game features, game modes...etc)

Now imagine that every other publisher doing this. And the publishers that aren't big enough to do this on their own, will partner up and do it anyways. The main part is this, you are now paying for yet another thing that you could have gotten for free. You think it will end there?Eventually, we will be paying in excess of $40/month for games and services. Then if you want to get the sports package too (NBA, Madden, Golf..etc) you can tack on another $20/month.

Games as a service. There is no way that is a good thing.
