EA Access subscription service will finally make its way to the PlayStation 4

They didnt put it on switch we need EA games on Switch come on!!

So lemme get this straight...
You pay for internet access, then for PSN, and THEN pay for EA Access on top of all that? Sounds like a shitty deal to me.

I can never tell if anti-fanboys are intentionally trying to look so retarded, or just genuinely this stupid.

Subscription services like these are becoming increasingly popular. How could it even be a scam? Dumbass.
It's a pretty insane value. EA has published or released a pretty massive catalog of games, and this is a very good way to try them all. You can hate EA all day but that doesn't change the value in the slightest. Their more premium subscription lets you play their brand new games which is ridiculous value. How you could even try to turn this into a negative is truly baffling.

Ironically it's the cheapest way (legally) to try all of these games without actively supporting EA much.

The price tag doesn´t really matter when most of the games are such crappy microtransaction infested disasters

Its not really scam or a bad deal. I'm not defending any of ea's actions with micro transactions and day 1 dlc. But i gotten this sub before i wanted to play battlefield, titanfall, dead space and need for speed with some friends online. And being able to do that for $5 was pretty good I cancelled it after I was done playing. Its really not bad deal at all and i feel like people knocking it just don't like ea and games they make but that doesn't make it bad deal.

What...does paying for internet have to do with anything? You have to pay for internet access and Netflix? Does that make it a bad deal? No, of course not.

You also don't need Gold/PS+ to subscribe to EA Access, if you don't mind lacking online play.

Games without microtransactions. Might've missed a couple i'm less familiar with. I forgot if EA Access includes all DLCs for everything or if that's premo. I even highlighted the ones I think are good!
Regardless it was an easy list to make. It was basically all of their games LOL. Only the premium access that gets you all of their latest games includes microtransaction titles. There's a lot of quality, well rated, games well worth the price. Some are crap, sure, but every service has filler.

Chew slowly, don't choke on the truth all at once now.

Incorrect. If you buy a used game, EA gets no money. Used games are legal...

I bet the games would still require ps+ to play online.

of course they do, but that is sony and microsoft way to block online play.

kumikochan · May 8, 2019

Jezus people are complaining here. Don't like it then don't get it instead of acting like spoiled whiney brats. Anyway don't get why it's 5 euro/dollar more expensive then on pc. Been using it on pc for 3 years now and on pc it's 25 a year. All dlc is or eventually will be included for the people wondering

Does this include the sports games? I don't really care myself, but if this is a subscription service that also has up to date FIFA and what not, that's actually a really good deal for the people who just buy the newest sports titles every year.

duwen · May 8, 2019

EA's stuff presumably sells really badly on PSN, judging by how much of it is massively reduced in virtually constant sales... tbh, given those sale prices, the average user could 'buy' most EA titles they'd be interested in for a fraction of the price of a years worth of EA Access.

I've been boycotting buying EA (and Activision) stuff for years now (although I may occassionally buy pre-owned physical releases, as long as THEY are not getting my money), so this service in tandem with their constant sales just makes me cringe.

It's never too late to try, at least, according to Electronic Arts, as they revealed that their monthly game subscription service EA Access would finally be heading to the PlayStation 4. EA Access has been available on the Xbox One ever since 2014, offering players a varied selection of their titles for $4.99/mo. When it first launched, EA attempted to put the service on the PS4, but was denied by Sony, who claimed that "[it] wasn't a good value for PlayStation fans". In the five years since then, it appears things have changed, as starting in July, you'll be able to experience select EA games such as Burnout Paradise Remastered, Star Wars Battlefront 2, Titanfall 2, and all of their sports franchises for $4.99 a month, or $29.99 a year.

yay...

Vicariously they get your money.

That's not how I see it... especially as the only physical EA and Activision releases I do buy are pre-current gen.
The 'vicariously' argument is kind of pedantic. Strictly speaking, they get the money from the initial sale and that's it.
At best you could argue that a 'consortium' of subsequent owners of a disk has 'co-funded' the purchase, but after the initial purchase the publisher sees no further revenue from that sale (discounting dlc and mtx) - once that item is in the second hand market there are other parties making profit (and more commonly, losses) from the resale (none of which is going back to the original publisher).
