EA thinks EA access isn't good value to its costumers

Thats because it isn't a big deal. People just like to hype up things because they are exclusive. Sony was right not to take it. EA has very few things that are worth paying yearly for (if any at all).

You make it sound like this is a fact while it is totally your opinion. EA would stop the service if no one would use it, wouldn't they? But you are right, if anything is exclusive, people care for it much more than it deserves.

Imagine The Order being multiplat, there would be way less talk about it, good or bad, love or hate.

What does the Order have to do with this? We're talking about services. Thanks to Valve Microsoft and Sony have better deals. 

Tis better to get "Access" to games from various publishers, than a limited list from one publisher. Valve did it first and still does it best, Sony followed and then Microsoft did as well as follow Sony's PSN+ Method. Truthfully its up to people whether they want EA titles, but when you saw the abundance on the Xbox One that was the Ultimate Game sale can one truly say that EA Access could compete with that? Regardless of whether its on the same product, they are still competing. 

And as much as EA would hate to hear this, their annual games can be found for a decent discount at least a couple months after launch as annual titles mostly devalue. NBA live hasn't seen glory since the 90's and Madden is only alive because they paid the NFL to give them exclusivity so 2k wont make them look like has beens (capitalism at work). 2k's last football game proved just how much EA nickel and dimes customers on development, which is why EA has to keep them away. EA has survived by gobbling up talented developers. Personally, I just hope they haven't discouraged 2kSports from making American Football games...because they know they'll get destroyed again once the exclusivity is up. As for UFC, EA was better off copying THQ's method completely. The new UFC game is a joke.

You're right though, it is an opinion. Thats the best part about being in a forum. It doesn't have to be the final word, just an opinion.
