Why would anyone call EA Access a scam?!?

[yvanjean]

The only way it would be a scam is if it was a required service to play EA games. It's Optional.

I would agree that it might not be for everyone and that Sony stand on it should be question, but why in the world would you call it a scam?

For only $4.99 a month (or $29.99 for a full year) ... 

1. 7.25 USD per hour (Jul 24, 2009)

   United States of America, Minimum wage
2. $11.00 CND per Hour Canada Minimum wage average in 2014

You can't even claim it's not valuable.... if you pay and use the service at all you get hours of entertainment compare that to the minimum wage per hour in USA or Canada.

Heck the average DLC cost more then EA Access monthly fee now that I would argue that any DLC can be concidered a scam (Especially when the content is locked away or deliberately left of the retail copy before release to be sold has DLC).

 

Optional service that is cheaper then I used to pay blockbuster for a 2 days game rental in the 10-15 years ago. Much better value then the Playstation Now rental fees.
