Forums - Gaming - Sony was right, EA access is a rip-off and needs to flop

WagnerPaiva on 03 August 2014

Well, I think a company can offer whatever they want to offer, as long as we are not obligated to buy, that is ok.
To me is not interesting, but I guess some people might want to subscribe.

However, one thing is for sure: we will not see EA games on PSPLUS and PSN Sales anymore.



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

So.... shouldnt you blame Sony for not making PS+ attractive enough for EA to invest in? After all, it´s the customers they care about?


They've invested in PS+

You are fine to hate it or like it but hating it so openly and attacking for it while it is optional sounds fanboyish, if it really is bad and EA lied to gamers....I am sure gamers will stop their subscription and they will be fucked but if they don't lie and gamers like it and renew their subscription then let them do it.

It is like those people who hated the season passes...

Sony isn't much better. They're pushing digital sales because it benefits them, you lose access to game if you cancel your PS+ subscription, it cost money to play games online, they mocked EA Access because it didn't benefit PS+, and PS Now is looking like a cash grab.

Nobody is more sly than Sony. They seem about as anti-consumer as MS but don't get the criticism.


Now is a rental service, do you not get that ??? 

Its temporary short term entertaiment, its not ownership or value based.

It's always the same with the PlayStation Fanboys!!! If a service is on PlayStation than it's the best thing in the world, and when it's not on PlayStation then it's the worst thing ever invented!!!

Yes there are, not likely to be any more though and that would solely be Sonys fault


No, EA's fault for creating DontAccess

If EA really wanted to react to Sony's condemnation they could stop supporting PS platforms entirely, other companies have done similar things, that too would be solely Sony's fault.

Yeah they put games on PS+ for money, not very much money though. Is it so wrong of them to want more money? Can you honestly say you would turn down more money yourself?


lol yahh if ea wants to go bankrupt that would be an awesome way to do so, cut support for the most domminating console since PS2.  

Bashed, some of you are are really overly sensative if you call what they said is bashing.

Ill wait a couple of years when the game library is bigger. Pay 5$ for a month, beat the games I want to play and never look back

If there is no EA games on PS+ how is that that the fault of EA Access? If anything that would be Sony failing to make their own service worthwhile. Now that EA access exists and Sony have said what they've said I'd be quite surprised if any EA games come to PS+ ever again.

Also why would EA possible want to put it's games on PS+ as a sub? I don't think anyone knows how the money is distributed but surely not much actually goes to the publisher, EA actually get to keep all the money with EA access.


There are EA games on PS+..

And it WOULD be the fault of Ea access if there weren't (in case it came to PS)

Why would they put the games on PS+? For money. Same reason they put them there now. Even BF3 was there.

But no, they don't just want money. They want mooooooore money. As much as they can squeeze out of you.

Well EA could drop their support for Sony and I wouldn't care... They probably wouldn't benefit much from it.

Their financial problems began before well before their $8 a month strategy. That's something they started doing in recent months. I've completed numerous games on the service and it generally worked fine.

The biggest reason for OnLive's failure is weak support. That's a death sentence for any platform.


Ok fair enough. But seeing that $8/month is basically 60% more than PS+ but on PSNow that could give you access to north of 1k titles in the future, and each publisher wanting a slice I find hard to believe it would cost less than 20 month... If $3/month is good value on 4/5 games on EA, imagine how much it would be with 20-30 publishers and thousand of games.

Realisticlly, if PS Now gets a monthly plan it'll only be for access for selection of games (maybe 100 titles?) not the entire PS Now library.

Anyhow, I think $5 - $10 is reasonable for a month acccess to a single game depending on the value of the game on the market. However, some games charging $15 for 30 days or even $50 for 90 days of access is ridiculous. Sony shouldn't allow that because, "it's not a good value for the Playstation gamer."
