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.

EA has done it before with perorder bonuses and on-disc DLC. Give it time, EA will find a way to screw things up. 

And Microsoft has had preorder bonuses and day one DLC (and probably on-disc DLC, idk). And they have rushed broken MP games out knowingly. And also infused games with microtransaction bullsh. Yet, AFAIK they haven't chopped off pieces of their games and made them XBLG exclusive, or made entire games XBLG exclusive. The only exception here is MP related stuff, hence "people subscribe because they basically have to".

And Sony has had preorder bonuses and day one DLC (and probably on-disc DLC, idk). And they have rushed broken MP games out knowingly. And also infused games with microtransaction bullsh. Yet, AFAIK they haven't chopped off pieces of their games and made them PS+ exclusive, or made entire  games PS+ exclusive. The only exception here is MP related stuff, hence "people subscribe because they have to".

It's not going to happen. People aren't going to react to parts of EA games being locked behind EA Access in an "oooo I gotta subscribe" type of way, it would be a "hey fuck that noise!" kind of way.
