Anyone who owns a PC and likes good games.

Guess I have bad taste then. Although I only have notebook, am I forgiven?

Yes, you are forgiven because I said PC and not portable calculator.

Thank you good sir.

I wouldn't be "opposed" to Sony getting it but I wouldn't subscribe, as I don't like EA's games or IPs. I can't recall the last EA game I enjoyed or bought. Even Garden Warfare free on PS4 was a waste of bandwith. Though I'll say in their defense that at least their games seem to be less samey, or more varied, than what has become of both Ubisoft and Warner Bros. (aka Ubisoft 2.0). But still not appealing.

Its an Xbox One exclusive.

Cause they would make less money on pc



Why i left PC gaming

 

(2015) Question for PS4 owners: if the situation would be reverse? would you still play on PS4?

3 of the better games on EA Access are not even available on PC.

So does EA give PC owners less games for the same cost? That might piss off console subscribers.
So does EA replace games like NBA Live, Madden, and UFC with other games that are on PC? That might piss off console subscribers.

EA already has Origin on PC. They can offer free games and sales and discounts through there. They can't put Origin on consoles. This is their next best option. MS welcomed it, Sony decided against it so that it wouldn't compete with their own services lol.

Yes I was about to write this.

And if Ea decides to remove those 3 games PC gamers would say they are getting less value. So i think Ea is actually waiting for few months so that they can add a bit more value to the vault and then offer it to PC gamers as well.

Moreover as you stated Origin is Ea's way of offering free games and discounts to PC gamers so no way you are going to compete with your own service.

I signed up for Origin a few weeks ago just for the free game Theme Hospital. That's all ill use Origin for, the free games.

I thought it had something to do with Sony blocking it on the ps4 as they felt it had very little value.
But why it's not on PC is a very good question.

I request the OP to add this information in the post to give fellow VGC members a clear picture about EA access.
We all are aware about EA access and for those who are not it is a monthly or yearly subscription (the way you purchase it) which gives access to certain number of EA titles. Ea has promised to add more titles to EA access with time and not removing the older ones creating a huge library of games available under one subscription.

Here is the list of the games.
NBA Live 15 - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NBA_Live_15 Available on PC No
Ea Sports UFC - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EA_Sports_UFC Available on PC No
Battlefield 4 - Available on PC Yes
Madden NFL 25 - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madden_NFL_25 Available on PC No
NFS Rivals - Available on PC Yes
Peggle 2 - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peggle_2 Available on PC No
Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare - Available on PC Yes
FIFA 14 - Available on PC Yes

Out of 8 games available in EA access 4 are not available on PC that simply justifies why Ea access is not available on PC. And why is not origin available on Xbox One and PS4 at times deals at origin are killer and what about free games they provide and game time functionality they provide in Origin where you get an option to play game for specific time 24-48hours. Basically EA has two different services for consoles and PCs. It is only available on Xbox One because Sony decided not to release it on PS4 not because EA wanted and for someone who play's EA games EA access has immense value I mean buy yearly subscription to ea access and you can enjoy all these games at such a lower price.
