Why pay a sub when ea keeps  on giving free games on origin and discounts.


Which shows EA knows EA access isn't the best value for costumer, preffering to give them Origin only in PC. Seems Sony was right so far.

Lame reason I must say

1. Origin is a service for PC through which Ea offers games to its consumers. The service is mainly used to play EA games but they also try to bring other publishers on board and yes few publishers do release their games. They need to attract consumers to their service so offering few free games now and then is basically a way to get consumers on board. Another incentive offered by them is Game Time which basically gives you access to more latest games for a specific amount of time. And like other services they offer discount on several occasions to boost sales during that period.

2. Consoles are not open like PC is and consoles are in much more controlled environment where companies have right on what is published and what is not. So therefore EA cannot offer Origin like services on consoles until they partner with console manufactures so basically EA decided to make EA access for consoles a subscription which gives you access to certain number of EA titles and also gives 10 % discount and early access for few games.

3. If you play EA games which many do I believe EA access has great value for them.

If you start comparing the price of a game and add them its better to just buy EA access which is much cheaper.

In Summary, Origin is better value than EA Access right?? I also think PS+ is a lot better value than EA Access... you can't say in PC it is okay to skip EA Access because Origin is better value buy say Sony is wrong for not ofering a third party service while the offerer itself don't offer it on their own service.
