I still think that MS is bankrolling some of it. That's a lot of current gen games to give away for $30 a year. The value is amazing, but I can't help but think that lost revenue is being covered. Honestly, because there's no good reason Sony should have for denying the service.

You may think its great deals, but I doubt they are losing sales of games really.

Pretty much all of EA games are the type of games that are insanely FRONT LOADED in sales. like 90% of the games sales are like in teh first month. So if it becomes free on EA Access 3 months later, it not relaly taking away from sales.

Because it is a Scam. EA doesn't really have that big of a liberary outside of the same old as we usually get, to pay 15$ a month to play a few games 2 days earlier and get a few shitty games for free. I have Orgin, the only difference is early acess between Original Orgin and EA access, the 15$ a month is actually a theft, you barely get back anything of value... so i you wanna pay 15$ a month for one freee EA game a month even though EA doesn't have enough games to really offer you anything good for free, because you would already have bought it for EA access.

Soon pretty much every company will do the same by offering their own independent Service ad charge for it, so keep on pushing us into that direction, we did it with Dlc's and so on... People have chosen that life isn't worth more then throwing money on companies for skins and textures.

You do know Origin/EA Access is only like $4 a month not $15..

Orgin is free and it comes with free monthly games EA Access is only Early Access. It's good i don'tknow the price because it is just a Scam. 
48$ is a waste a year just to play all EA games 2 day earlier then everyone else. The fact that you have to pay at all to get monthly free games on consoles and not PC is just another proof that Mainstream gamers love falling for that ** Look at what we offer you for this much** and it seem amazing but when you consider the options, its legitamized scam.  It's not their fault though, the Economy is so broken they have no other choice to expand with dirty shit or go bankrupt.

Saying it's $48 a year is like saying PS+ or XBL are $120 a year. There is a year subscription option for $30. Also, yes, Origin is free on PC, but it's just a marketplace. Why wouldn't it be free? EA also has Origin Access, which isn't free. So they are offering the services up to both audiences, PC and console :)

Also, there is nothing scam about it. If you enjoy the games in the vault, have at it. If not, don't. There is no scam involved. EA doesn't tie anything in the game behind Access membership. The game you bought day one before EA Access is still the same you'd buy now after EA Access. If anything, I'm surprised EA Access is such a value as it is considering this is E fucking A we are talking about.
