Atlus, Sega, Capcom, ZeniMax Media, Square Enix. There's plenty of 'em. They had enough games to offer in a service for a small fee or more. It would take way too long to sniff out more/better examples so I'll just leave it as is. I don't know why you brought up all of that about paywalls when I never said or implied that paywalls are bad. I said that we don't need anymore paywalls in a different post. As far as i can tell, you're only measuring what you gain from EA access versus other similar services in the short term. Like I mentioned in another post, EA access is already on the xbone and we'll see how it plays out on it. 

 

Edit. Didn't see that you responded already. I would left this much shorter. haha

     

Atlus is Sega so lets just say Sega. I can't see them starting a service like EA Access given their halfhearted efforts in console gaming. They can't create a service like that with niche games like Persona. However, if Sega brought many of their classic games 8th gen consoles for a small fee, well I wouldn't mind that. The same goes for Capcom, I wouldn't mind have access to many of their classics for a small fee.

ZenixMax and Sqaure Enix simply don't make enough games annually to create a service like EA Access. Those are studios that would also have to offer a backlog from past generations to encourage people to subscribe to their services.

Hence, you're worried about every publisher starting a similar service but its just not realistic. MS isn't gonna let every publisher start a subscription unless they have a strong library to offer. A more likely scenario is MS starts another subscription that gives people access to many old games. Kinda like PS Now's subscription service.

My prediction is Sony gives in and allows EA Access on their console. There is demand for it, its a good value, and at some point they're gonna get tired of Xboners having access to EA releases first. If people are this angry about BF:Hardline imagine how they will react to BF5.
