Exactly. While people can debate whether Sony was being arrogant or not when they said they didn't see the value in EA Access, they're missing the actual point. Success of this service can possibly lead to a horrible trend that is not consumer friendly. Also, this is EA, a company that won two consecutive Golden Poo awards and nearly earned a third. We all saw what happened with Sims and Battlefield 4, and now EA messed up on NHL 15, too. As Jim Sterling said, don't put your faith in EA.

What you say worries me now. What if people dismis EA for all that you mentioned, but welcome activision when they do it since EA is proven to be the worst but activision seems at least to not get the hate? It will just delay the inevitable.

I really, reaallly hope that that doesn't happen. Now you have brought this theoretical scenario into the equation, I'm quite glad Sony did not go with EA Access. With the amount of marketshare they control, it'll help not make this kind of business practice take off. In addition, as Jim pointed out, these companies will have to deal with major retailers because Gamestop, Amazon, Toys R' Us, Walmart, Best Buy, etc. will NOT be happy with those kinds of services.
