Why do we still not have EA Access on PS4?

Sure... Lets all preted Sony has some obligation to open the doors to services that they deem not benificial for their own ecosystem just because some whiners online, who probably don't even have a playstation (or not their main console) determine they are owed something.

If you guys want an open (kind of) platform, just get a gaming pc.

Personally I say fuck ea access and their practice, especially artificially keeping early access on games for a monthly fee when the game should be released at the same time to everyone buying it day 1.

Keep it up Sony

EA games sell millions so it seems pretty beneficial to the ecosystem.

Lol having a service that gives u 10% off EA games/DLC, 35 games, and early access does not make it an open platfotm because all downloads still come from the PS store.

Lol how does other people getting to play 10 hours before a game comes out negativly affect you?

 

You don't need to try and sell me that BS 'service' from EA. I have origin on PC, so if I ever felt the need to have EA access I would purchase it.

 

Now on your question, how does it negatively affect me? Well let's put it this way, I believe it is predatory of any company to artificially withold the release of a game in order to milk extra money from the people who are excited for that game to come out and even pre-ordered it. Also in a game like Battlefield waiting a week after release to begin playing it means you're already at a disadvantage against people who managed to unlock a ton of weapons in the week prior.

I do not like this practice, so I don't support it with my money. I don't want to have a situation in which every big publisher things they can have a service like this and we'd be stuck either having 2 tiers of customers. Sure it might not be a big deal to have the next Fifa released 1 week earlier, but what if story heavy games like Mass Effect and such have this same treatment? Now all of a sudden, there is no safe place on the internet with tons of people spoiling the game to those who 'have' to wait an extra week to play it.

 

The main point I was trying to make is, Sony has full control of their ecosystem, and if they deem deterimental to their services to have EA access, they are 100% in their right to not allow it. They were transparent about it from the beginning, so not 1 person who bought a Playstation was 'robbed' of this service.
