It makes me think of CAA. You pay for a membership, a sub basically, they provide you with a service, and they don't care what type of vehicle you have. They offer different packages though so you can save if you don't travel as much or pay more if you do. It's a little surprising that EA being third party doesn't have a cross platform sub for a higher price. From a profit perspective it makes sense, because they are likely to make more money charging per platform, and the platforms themselves likely would make more profit by having it all locked to each platform. That doesn't really explain the lack of outrage though. I don't see this to be to much different than what happened with Fortnite, and yet no one really seems to care. I just find it quite odd that 'anti consumer' doesn't seem to apply at all times.

I can understand that Netflix and EA Access are different type of service, and that is less likely for someone to have numerous different consoles than Netflix enabled products. So perhaps very few are worried that they will need more than one sub. Still it is strange that no outrage have been done.

But considering gamepass still have low sub number, EA Access also probably have low, it don't really affect many.

Good point. If you compare all of EA's games over the past couple years or more vs just Fortnite there really is no comparison. From that perspective it makes sense why things have been fairly quiet. I'd also guess that EA games are played by an older audience on average, who better understand why cross play isn't a natural thing in the console industry, so little to no outrage should come of it. For now anyway. We'll see what happens if the service starts to take off and if 'anti consumer' outrage follows.
