Why do we still not have EA Access on PS4?

I can say what I suppose.

At the time EA Access was started EA put MS and Sony to bid and MS won, so Sony just made that remark out of spite after losing.

Or the even more plausible. EA demanded that most of the cut made from the games on EA Access discount plan to be made to EA because it would be their game and their service. So you get free games on EA Access that would compete with the sale of PSN and also the discounts that when made through EA Access wouldn't be made on PSN.

So altough it isn't less value to PS customers to have EA Access it almost certainly is less money to Sony.

I guess that makes sense. And it's not like Sony needs the service.

Unlike a lot of others, I don't think there is any real bad blood between the companies. When it comes to sports games, you either work with EA or you don't have sports (aside from MLB). Some say that's a large part of what killed the Dreamcast and WiiU. 

*Edit* This makes me wonder, though. Is PlayStation Now profitable? I mean, I could use the service on my TV with no console right now, if I wanted to. Meanwhile EA Access needs a console for full game downloads. I'd still need PS+ to play any EA games online. And is it costing M$ money competing with any of their services?

So many questions....

Sony is on the lead so they don't need to employ as many power and goodwill to sell better so that may be the reason MS were more willing to give ways for EA.

Yes I know about people saying lack of Fifa and the like being a reason fro Dreamcast dismiss, but on Saturn I remember Sega versions of sport games being quite sucessful.

I believe PS Now is profitable, but I haven't the slightest idea on how much. And yep you need PS+ to play EA games online (but some games are exempt from this clause, like f2p and mmo), and probably cost money (or diminish revenue) for MS to have EA access.
