There is absolutely no reason for EA to do this, it's not worth the Sony fanbase. Of course it's going to hurt your user base. I hope it sells less on PS4 as a result. Sony gamer's have every right to vote with their wallet. That being said gamer's from all extremes, need to show a little more dignity. If you really care, have a twitter account and promote a cause that lowers sales of the title until the first price drop, that'll get their attention.


Man WTF? You say show dignity then come up with a shitty way to "get" back at them? For what? It was offered to the other platform. It was rejected by the other platform. Instead of directing your attention to the ones who made the decision for you it's attack the company that offered the service? Unbelievable 


What?  *Goes and checks for an option on Origin*

EA has shown that it's not worth their own userbase to put EA Access on EA's own PC gaming platform....

I am curious, are you trying to imply that consumers shouldn't make financial decisions based on how they feel?



I'm not sure why people are defending EA now that it has an exclusive contract with Xbox One. It's still EA.

The bottom line is that EA is looking for another revunue generator and you are paying for a demo. If EA access wasn't avaiable, EA would've made Hardline demo available for all consoles just like they have done with every release since 2006 or whatever. It's now called a trial and pretends to add a false value to EA access. Its the same song and dance behind a paywall.

Sony not giving consumers a choice is BS. I believe it competes with some of their services and that's why it's not offered.

how is it MS or EA fault as its sony who said no to EA access. The blame is entirely on sony and no one else. If sony said yes to EA access then sony gamers would have the same access. There are some really stupid people out there


Why should sony support EA access, next day you gonna pay for capcom access, ubisoft upay and activasion transaction and what have you

EA putting money before it's costumers? What a big surprise...

Or maybe putting their most loyal customers before their less loyal customers? Yeah, what a terrible practice. Nobody other than EA would ever do that.


Where do you know how much money ps4 owners spent for their battlefield hardline? If some on bought a season pass for 90€ thats way more than some one who bought a regular edition with ea access



I don't think this thread is about if anyone here feels this is an issue (with predictable answers from all sides) but why some make it an issue and why they react as the picture in OP shows us.
If people are uninformed what EA said about EA Access in the beginning then you can't blame EA now but these people.

to put it more bluntly, it's just butthurt sony fanboys angry because the xbox guys get the game sooner.

Because apparently getting a playstation exclusive beta nearly a year ago wasn't enough to offset a 5 day/10 hour headstart for people who are paying extra for the prelieage to do so.

For you to start such a service, you have to have a decent sized library on a console. Whether you think EA's library is good or not is totally up to you but at least they have enough games to put in their vault. Others don't (for example Capcom).

And of course in the end you can always decide if you want to subscribe to the service or not. It is an option. If it's good or not to have the option is of course influenced if you even have the chance to get the option which could already be seen last year when the service was announced.



Maybe it's because I don't give a damn about BF:H, but 5 days is nothing to get upset about.
