Oh and of course PS+ memberships are up 200% you kind of made it a requirement if you want to play multiplayer.

Which games do they give away for free? How old are they? Which exactly?
Thanks for deciding for me Sony.
Sony: But forcing people to pay for PS+ just to play games online now, does.

People dream they will get the new fifa, madden,nhl for 30$ a year every year but in the end we all know, they'll just put the old ones on that service when the new iteration come out
Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

Why should they have such dream? Neither PS+ nor GWG currently give them new games so I doubt anyone expects this to happen.
| BMaker11 said: I don't know why you'd highlight the "are not a replacement for" part and saying that's not good enough for EA...while praising EA for doing the exact same thing. But the associated DLC that people buy (I repeat, that goes directly into their pockets) and larger exposure (later in the game's life, I'll add, after the majority of the sales have been done) to create a higher fan base for said game....that's not good enough either? And I mean, it's not like EA is Square Enix....who sell 5M copies of a game and are still disappointed. Other than Madden, FIFA, Mass Effect, and Battlefield, what franchises does EA have where free exposure (due to being paid by MS or Sony, mind you) ---> larger fan base and more DLC money won't be a good thing? I just looked at the 360 (I think that's a safe platform, since EA sold most of their software on it last gen) and only Battlefield, L4D, and ME got above 3M (with Battlefield 3 skewing things up with 7M sales). You telling me Need for Speed, Dead Space, Crysis, Medal of Honor, Dragon Age, Mirror's Edge, Army of Two, etc. wouldn't benefit from people getting to play it, who overlooked it. Bought DLC, sequels, and whatever other merch....that's not "good enough" for EA? They're not needing 5M sales for these games to be successful, so the free money that Sony or MS could give them to put on PS+/GwG, plus the associated revenue from more people being exposed to these games.....if that's not "good enough", I don't know what is |
"Creating a higher fanbase" doesn't mean a lot.. Is there any prove people actually by the DLC (who buys DLC for a game they rent?) Arent Crysis 3 and Deadspace 3 (PS+ games in europe) the last of their franchise.. Create a fanbase for the non excisting sequel? even if there are sequels its gonna be 2 years since they were a part f PS+.. How many games are from EA on PS+? It also can devalue a brand, making people wait till it comes to PS+ or GwG.. Sure it can happen to this too but at least people are paying EA..
We are talking about multi billion dollar companies.. We all have seen the numbers.. its going down the drain.. If EA gets money from this directly from their older games not having to deal with Sony (negotiations), giving consumers more games from the EA library, for a better price they think they will be profitable with.. i'm all for it.. Why should EA give their Games to Sony or MS for pocket change when they can get more money from it themself and offer more? For exposure? for people that might buy a sequel? That's not a strategy for anyone.. Shouldn't the money go to the developers and publishers who make those games.. and if Activision wants to compete with a 25 dollar subscription why not?
Can it devalue PS+ or GwG? Sure.. do I care about that? Nope.. its nice to have options..
Face the future.. Gamecenter ID: nikkom_nl (oh no he didn't!!)
| BMaker11 said: And all I've been saying this whole time is that PS+ already offers all of that stuff combined in one package. |
EA Access would give you access to a library of EA games. PS+ is a random library of games changed every month. Hence, PS+ doesn't offer what EA Access wants to offer.
Sony should get rid of all streaming services on Playstation. Force people to use the Sony store for movies and TV programs. Fuck options!

MS and EA sat down and came up new way of stealthily bringing it back... But i honestly don't see any value in this subscription, $5 a month for last years/annualized games, games which people prefer to buy the latest iteration, and get a discount on it. No thank you. Its good that Sony is not supporting such trend.. next thing will have other publisher queue up..Good Move Sony |
Agreed. PS+ undoubtedly offers more value because you get discounts and free games from every publisher, not just Sony's. EA Access is limited to only EA's games..... and the games EA has published as of late have not been so good. *cough* Battlefield 4 *cough*
Also, the success of EA Access will only hurt the gaming community. What if Ubisoft and Activision decide to do this, too? No way will I want to subscribe to each one to get "deals" from their games. PS+ is more convenient. I subscribe once and I'm on my merry way.
This reminds me of the Origin debacle with Nintendo.
Wouldn't that be hilarious if EA pulled their games from the PS4 now, lol.
