EA has long suffered the disapproval and scorn of the gamer community at large for some of their business tactics. While EA Access is looking like a great deal for gamers on the surface the "I don't trust them" argument has to be explored. What is EA up to and how does this make them more money?
Electronic Arts has unveiled how EA Access will be arriving on Steam and 'coming soon'.
Featuring the complete nanosuit experience, The Crysis Trilogy has now joined the EA Access vault as a title that's free for those that subscribe to the EA service on Xbox One consoles.
It's been revealed that EA Access will be coming to Steam in the near future, as various EA games have been added to the storefront.
How does this make them more money? Why do you think Netflix and all the other on demand services make money?
Subscription services are great for companies because people forget to cancel them or "its only $5" so no big deal. I've got friends who have Netflix and watch a movie a month but won't cancel cause they like the convenience. Right now there is no EA game I must have. But id love to try plants vs zombies. Subscriptions might lead to purchases. Oh I love playing so and so but I dont want subscription anymore let me go buy full game. Oh I get 10% off dlc, well I'll buy it now since I save 10%.
Its going to be very easy for them to make money. Its a great deal for gamers too.
Doesn't seem like they are up to anything. I signed up last night, downloaded all 4 games without a problem and now im playing them today. Paid 4.99 for this month just to see how it works and it is fantastic. With this month ill even be able to get the % off madden 15. I never bought any of these titles so this is completely fantastic for me, never played Fifa, madden 25, peggle 2, or battlefield. Awesome deal they got with MS, idk how anyone can say something bad about this honestly, especially since you will be able to play games like Dragon age 5 days early.
This is a great deal, again and simple. Enjoy xbox fans!
Exactly, is still EA
The hatred towards EA is astounding.
