I think that you're being narrowsighted and only looking at the immediate benefits, OP. I feel that a lot of the gamers discrediting EAA are looking at the long-term strategy and realizing the potential cons to this service. First, I believe EA may seem like a sweet deal right now in order to get you hooked but we have yet to see what kind of pattern this service will trend. Secondly, the precedent this can set for other companies is not good. It's taking away games from PS+ and GWG subscribers, more so as each vendor rolls out their own version;
On top of that you need to realize the potential of this service abusing consumers goodwill with exclusive DLC only available from X service, certain content (not DLC but launch content) locked away under the subscription, etc. Already we've seen an article about how NHL15 has a few modes removed from the next gen version and some are speculating that they will magically become available with an EA Access account.
Now that may be fine and dandy for you, but the vast majority of players won't subscribe and are getting screwed out of a product they presumed to be complete upon purchase. Sure you can disregard everyone else, but then your opinion will mean a lot less to the rest of us that aren't as selfish.
