But it would be playing the full game for free, because that is what they are offering with early access. EA access is what like 40 quid a year? EA release like 10+ games a year probably so to buy all of them new would cost 400-500 pounds and you think people should get full access to every EA game for the week prior to release without paying a penny extra to the EA access fee? That would pretty much end sales of EAs games, people would get EA access and then never buy an actual game again.

That's EA's own problem when you create a premium subscription service. They could choose not to have this service and just stick with demo's/ PS Plus deals with the 'what if no one ever buys games, just gets them free' malarky. If EA want to charge a subscription, the least you expect is value. Where's the value in a rotated vault that doesnt let you build a backlog, or the timed demos. Madden is not a story game, it cant be 'completed' in a week, so for games with stories like dragon age that should have limits on the campaign, but madden, fifa etc. should be a complete early access for about a week.

Why exactly do you think the games will rotate and won't let you build a backlog? EA made it pretty clear that games once in the Vault will be always in it except if they have to take it out for some legal reasons (maybe if they would have a licence for a movie adaption which would end after some years or so)

Come on be real. If in 2018 I buy a months subscription, do you actually believe i'll have 5 years worth of EA games for that small price of £3.99?
If theyre so worried about someone finishing a game in early access' limited timeframe, I essentially could play & complete dragon age inquisition, mass effect and the tons of other non annualised games which are put on the service after a couple of years of their release, and I just paid £4 to play the lot.
The t&c is there because EA plan on rotating, they're not going to let someone with a months, or even a years sub access years of content for £4 when they subscribe. EA still sell games after their release, look at the mass effect trilogy for example.
