Pretty much, and there's gonna be plenty more as time passes!

Indeed......... good times ahead on EA access no doubt..!!!!

Copy and pasted from the Koei thread:

"While this is good news, anything that has "'exceeds'/'fails to meet' expectations" in the title isn't particularly useful without knowing what they were actually expecting, and the context of those expectations. Similar to how "[x] has sold out" is rather meaningless without knowing how many were on offer."

Adding to that, unless we have all the information before hand, statements like this can easily be PR spin/bullshit.

At least EA is being open about the point of the program. They want people to buy the new games when they release. This is like a free sample that consumers are paying for. They squeeze extra money out of previously released titles while creating anticipation of newer versions. It's going to be interesting to see if it works or if people wait for the newer releases to work their way to Access.

I can only really see this being a good deal for the FIFA or Madden fans and I guess for the Battlefield fans. Those are going to be the titles that make or break the program.

I'm planning to buy Dragon Age next month. Can I subscribe for one month and save 10% for the digital version of the game?
Dragon age + Peggle and Battlefield for one month is a good deal.

3rd parties have been given too much power? They play a significant role in moving hardware, period.

Sony and MS have become very reliant on 3rd parties because they want to make less games.

Yes, you can. It's actually the best loophole in the entire service.

Pay $5 for a month, get a $6 discount on a game...plus rent other games for free for a month...

Just be sure to uncheck automatic subscription renewal to avoid unpleasant surprises...

It totally helped the Xbox 1 and made it the leading console for all EA Games...oh wait

Fifa 15 sold 2,2 Million 1st week on the PS4 and just a mere 600k on the X1
Right now the PS4 sits at 3+ Million while the X1 Version didn't even reach 1 million.
The PS4 Version is followed obviously by the PS3 Version

If those are their expecations then holy shit they have to be low.

EA should start being nicer to Sony.
They need the PS4 and not the other way around.
All their games sell and will sell a lot more on the PS4

Sony was right - There is no value in EA Access.
They don't need that to sell games.
The PS4 Version sells more by default just cause it has higher quality.
Dragon Age should cost less on the X1 by default,even without EA Access Subscription cause of less resolution = less quality.

I don't think so. Sony turned them down so how is what they said rude? 

Also, third party's don't have too much power. EA makes some of the biggest games of the year and their games like Fifa sell a lot of PS4's . 

And now imagine those millions in sales, plus revenue from EA Access. Sad to see someone poo on a service just because a corporation decides it isn't in their own best financial interests.
