For all of the complaining people do about how they hate EA to begin with this is just too funny. If this service or others that will come just like it are so bad, they will be shunned by the public. People said the same thing about Xbox Live. PS+ (competition) prove that if there are multiple different companies with similar services, they will make the product and its services better to compete. EAA and its eventual followers will get better and better over time. |
I don't hate EA, I think they produce great games and fund a lot in the industry. People should shun it but how the industry works worries us, some owners did shun Xbox Live but enough paid for it that MS made money (presume the same with PS+) and this is the bit that appeals to EA and other companies, doesn't matter how many don't sign up, as long as a certain amount do. If it proves successful, Live and Plus will be made less of a deal when EA and other companies decide to keep their games for their services and not allow them to be played on Games for Gold or Plus, because they want them for their service.
| LudicrousSpeed said: I don't understand why people think EA would lop off part of their games and make it Access exclusive. This isn't a service like XBLG or PS+ where a huge portion of gamers subscribe because they basically have to, this is an optional fan driven service. It would make no sense. They'd lose more revenue than the subscriptions would ever bring in. |
Ding ding, we have a winner. If EA make certin exclusive stuff available only to EA Access, people will susbcriber because they 'have to'. Even Xbox Live and PS+ is optional.
Hmm, pie.
