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. |
The bolded is really all that needs to be said and should be common sense to anyone who is into gaming at all. You're never going to come out even when you compare the console and PC market.
EA Access is EA's version of Origin on consoles, since they cannot put Origin on consoles. They don't need an EA Access on PC, they already have Origin. OP must not know a thing about Origin to ask such a silly question ;)
