I wouldn't call it a scam in the traditional sense but it does set a dangerous precedent for other publishers to follow. I don't know about you but I don't want to have a subscription service for every big publisher out there on top of my Playstation Plus or XBL subscription. |
what i find sad is how much control gamers seem to be willing to relinquish to publishers. For lack of a better description, I am inclined to brand most gamers as ignorant, knee jerking sheeps. We just keep on letting publishers fuck us over.
Like its truly sad that some can't just look at EA access, and see how bad its business model can become for the industry.. simply because right now its not that bad. Its the same thing that happened with game patches, last gen, every once in a while we get a game fixing patch. Right now, practically every game released comes with a day one patch. And some games are still being patched 3 months after release. Then we gave into microtransactions, on disc DLC...
You know the industry is going to shit when a publisher fixes bugs in their microtransaction code before they make fixes to the game code that actually makes the game perform better. General Media is moving away from tiered services (TV) and things like netflix. amazon prime or even stuf like popcorn tme that makes all those other services a joke are springing up... yet gamers are marching with their eyes wide open right into the exact same thing. Do people realize that at one point cable TV was "free"?
