12 free next gen games, 10% off all EA titles, and early access to all EA titles for $2.50 a month may be bad for the industry, but it's great for the consumer.


those are EA games, so no, this isnt good for anyone but EA.


7 of the 12 games scored higher than 80 on metacritc and all but 1 scored higher than 75.

i am not going to buy this game anyways but why is Sony even wasting money on exclusive deals with EA games if they have this EA access going on? EA acess is bad for industry i am glad it is banned on PlayStation.


It wasn't banned lol. It still can come to the system. How is it bad for the industry? 


imagine if everyone came with an own service. The next day you know you would be paying for Ubisoft access, Activision playfront, Square Enix Expierence, Bethesda Volt.

EA could release the game earlier for all platforms but they are delaying it so they can sell their EA Acess on Xbox. How is it a good thing?

It's an optional subscription (for Xbox owners) that offers 12 free AAA games, a 10% discount on all EA titles and early access for $2.50 a month...  They're not forcing you to buy it and your not missing out on anything if you don't.  Sounds to me like you're just blindly hating it because Sony didn't give us a choice.

the bottom line is they arent making new content with this subscription rather they are taking away content from others. Its the fact they could launch all these earlier games on all systems but they are delaying it on the PS4 and PC to sell their EA access on xbox.

Why should i be jelly? i dont even like EA games these days.

This OT is about Star Wars on EA Access.


...because it's still relevant to the topic at hand.

This is not the marketing rights discussion or software sales prediction.

This thread is under MS discussion and EA Access is the sub-topic. I would appreciate if you guys just stick to those two


How come you didn't care about this then: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=7437122

This isn't games discussion, or games quality discussion. This thread is under MS discussion and EA Access is the sub-topic. At least be consistent.

If you don't like EA games then why do you even care?  EA's early access is no different than timed exclusivity bought by MS and Sony.  MS did it with Tomb Raider and Sony does it with games like CoD, Batman and Destiny.  They're not making any new content with the exclusivity, rather, they are taking away content from others.  Funny, I didn't see you upset when Sony sealed that deal with Activision for CoD this year which includes an early access beta and 30 day timed DLC  for PS4 owners?  Face it, it's an OPTIONAL service they gives you access to 12 free games, 10% off EA titles along with early access for $2.50 a month and Sony should have alowed EA to offer it to Playstation customers.  I wish they had because it's one of the things that's making me interested in buying an Xbox One and I'd much rather spend that $350 on PS4 games.

so we are paying for the timed exclsuivity? not really. 

EA sets bad trends so i am calling them up, espacially since people blame Sony. Sony made a good decision not allowing EA access on PlayStation.

Umm...I asked a legitimate question with no ulterior motive. Oh and yes it's still relevant to the very topic. You need to chill. I didn't know you were a mod. Oh wait..

So you gonna derail my thread like it's nothing.

I asked you to talk about SW on EA Access but I guess you don't have nothing to add but trivial topics to the OT.


Lol What???? Goatseye get some sleep, wake up new and refreshed and realize how crazy you are being.
