Wow, EA really are ingenious. Why would people do this? Just play the 6 hours you've got and then buy the actual game and play it for as long as you want.

Americans.

Think about it. These are people who call a sport that is played with hands "football".


The Brits started that actually. Just saying

But at least with British Football your not suposed to play the sport with your hands...

Hopefully not the same people bashing PSNow....


There are definitely games I would pay $5 to play before launch.

Does that mean I want to pay about $5 to play old PS3 games for a few hours? Nope.

But that's not the point he is trying to make.. it's people that are willing to create a 2nd 3rd or more to extend the time they can play a game before it launches... in this case a mere 5 days before it launches.

Not the British version of Football that American Football is based on. American Football began as variaton of Rugby in Britian. That too was played mostly with your hands.

Isn't it stupid also for people to pre-order games?

You could buy it or download it on digital marketplaces the same day it releases.

Pre-paying publishers are one of the most stupid ideas I've ever seen.

Well I'm pointing out the hole in your OP. Madden 15 is a new game, PS Now is old stuff.

Hence, paying $5 to play something that isn't out yet is more enticing than a few hours of old stuff on PS Now.

Anyhow, I doubt a significant number of people are making muliple accounts for more Madden 15.

How does that work? What games can you play?

I consider myself a hardcore gamer, and 6 hours a day is more than enough.
