sorry typo.

fifa 14 ofc

I have always though of EA Access as of a demo Access.

Do you get to play some games without purchasing them for as long as you want???

Um honestly anything with EA on it makes me not want the system...



"I think it will be the HDS"-Me in regards to Nintendo's next handheld.

If Fifa 15 is on there at all its definaltey a demo, im guessing you mean the soon to be £2 in every second hand store Fifa 14 

Still can't beat the deal.


Yeah it is a good deal on the whole,

I do fear what it has already brought, that you have to pay for demos, and this type of service being implemented by every other publisher to the point where to play games you have to subscribe. And it ends up being a hellish place to be. 

We already sub to play online, now subbing per publisher could just get awful very quickly.

Exactly what I'm thinking.

Why would I buy a Xbox One just to get better deals on EA games?
Throwing away the money might be better...



If you're interested in Nintendo content and understand german, maybe you want to take a look at my youtube channel! :)

because so many people spray shit over in the internet maybe

u can play all these games als long, as u subscribe (like ps+ and gwg on xb1)  and as long as they are in the vault  (ea stated they have no intention to ever remove a game from the vault)

u can even play them offline without a 24h online check or anything.

Also if anything it will prevent people with limited budgets from buying games from that publisher ever again and will likely push more people to the already cheap and easy mobile market.

All the negativity people have toward EA Access reminds me of the original Xbox days when Splinter Cell 2 had some DLC come out and it cost $5. People were up in arms complaining, saying they wouldn't buy it.

Fast forward to now and few expect not to pay for DLC. It's a standard.

EA Access (more likely something akin to it in a subscription model) is a future we'll all come to accept in five years. Get over it.

It's a standard is the problem. Even DLC is an issue many do not like but for every million that don't buy it, 200k do and those 200k sales are more than enough usually to make it worthwhile for the developer. So they will keep dividing up the content, charging you more for something that was once either free or superb value to make as much from you as they can.

I don't even by DLC now. Only 'DLC' I own are from GOTY collections, like ME2 on PS3 and Dragon Age O, didn't buy any DLC for ME3 or DA2, no matter how good (they are rarely good value).

EA Access only devalues Live and PS+ as well as divides content up even more.



Hmm, pie.

There are pleanty of times they stated they had no intention of doing something before they did it in the future. It's not like ps+ or gwg. That vault is a pretty big and considerable difference. What matters is what TOS says which is actually a binding contract between you and them which states they can and will remove games from the vault at any time for what ever reason or no reason. Their statement of what their intentions may or may not be is not a contract, verbal or otherwsie and that is something important to note.

and? ps+ or gwg service can be shut down, too. so u cant paly any games any more. just as an worst case szenario (only the xb360 is an exception. u still can play the games even if ms going bankrupt

its the same

if u dont trust ea, dont subscribe

if they put down some games or break theire word, stop ur subscription

 

its so easy.

 

 

what about all the online server for old games. gt5 as example

they will be shut down. schould everyone stop buying a new gt for that reason?

 

 

thats the best part of subcriptions. if they do anything u dont like u can stop it.

if they do anything u dont like for an game u bought, u wont get ur money back form the company



LOL ok OP. have fun with that.

i reject any more subs period.. unless its a mmo i want to actively play. i dont like the thought of the future being 10 subs to play games and no option just to buy the game i want physically.

the sun will be setting on this console gamer.
