You're right, Sony didn't see the value in that

Enjoy paying to access demos, morons.

..and so, it begins.

So it is everything they said it would be.

Thanks Peter Moore.

Don't worry, that $4.99 UFC demo on XBL a weeks back? Yep. Outstanding value!

Meanwhile on PS+, No demos.

Someones still extremely butthurt over people calling Sony out on their shitty pricing with PS Now...

how long till 'ea access required to play multiplayer'? haha u fools are clowns thinking this isnt happening next bu-bu-bu the value!!!!

Moooooooooooooooooooo

Good to see you being honest for once. Continue.

Don't worry, cows, you don't need a demo to figure out what the next identikit Madden game will be like. Let the lems be milked like the true cows they are.

So now you get no demo.

Thanks sony

I see no demos of any games in PS4 future... If Sony doesn't open it's door to these services.

If you don't think Activision and Ubisoft are working on their own services right now. Well..........

@ghostwarrior786: I would have no issue with that if EA's horrible server/online issues would be fixed. X1 would be the place to play all EA games with no broken online!!!

But doubt that would happen.

Wow EA just WOW!. Funny there are people who wouldn't mind this.

Paid demos are great cos it's Eggsbux Juan exclusive.

I'll also enjoy the full, retail games that I can download and play forever for free, thank you very much.

So this is future of gaming huh?..........

paid demos(thanks ground zeroes)

subscription after subscription

"always connected"

drm

"early access"

dlc after dlc

If Sony allows Microsoft to corner this..... This could effect DLC deals.. content and everything. Why would these publishers offer these incentives outside of their eco-system. When they could make Bank inside them?

They will 10000% push these services to get subscribers. There will be many incentives for gamers to drop the dime.

What games?

free? That's my question.

Funny thing is Sony is in a position to drive EA's business decisions. Sony has a larger install base and will continue to do so. Publishers will have to do what sony wants.

Games dictate the rules.

@ShepardCommandr: It's only the future of gaming for the big publishers like EA, Activision, and Ubisoft. Fortunately, they don't make very many quality games and I can do just fine without them.

Fifa World Cup 2010

Theme Park

Medal of Honor: Frontline

Let me be the first one to say it ... LOLMadden, LOLEA.

Soon on PS+, Sony adopts a similar EA Access pay-for-demo method, Cows defend Sony and try to justify it.

LOL at a game that sales 10-15 million copies every year. LOL indeed.

Think about what you're saying a moment.. Imagine a world where Zenimax, Square-Enix, and every other big publisher also play ball.

Do you want to shell out the price of a whole game once a month just to be a part of the publisher whoring their content? Is this REALLY the direction gaming needs to go?

I don't download demos, so meh.

Me thinking about anything is not going to stop the exodus? Do I want it..No. Does that matter, no.

Allowing Microsoft to corner this = Bad for gamers.

EDIT~

God no, SW bullshit aside i agree with ya there. EA Access needs to die a quick death.

@tacoma1972: The only thing Sony can do is back pedal and tell EA the want to provide the service on PS4??

You realize there has been over 170 million 360/PS3 sold and there has been maybe 15 million PS4/X1 sold there are a lot of potential customers for either new system right now.

Not with ONE player in the game. I want Sony to adopt this also. It will keep these crooks honest.

Sony can bury their head in the sand. It's not going to stop these publishers from doing it.

lol at cows if they think the main draw to ea access is week early demos. Nevermind the full games you have access to download (not stream mind you) and play

@Shewgenja: I know your only use to buying indie games on PS4 but the retail price of a full game isn't $4.99 nor is it the $30 price you can get for the entire year.

Options = good

How many publishers are there? Refresh my memory, you seem to be the mathematician.

If publishers and game developers only go for Microsoft then there is nothing Sony can do to drive EA's business. Point being large install base won't mean anything unless they can keep the games coming. Publishers won't have to do what Sony wants. They can decide to make games for another console and Sony would have to make a compromise for them to make games on their own system.

And if you think PSN Now has value then you have your head way to far up Sony's ass

So true.

EA FORCED Microsoft to drop ALL of their 1st party sports games on the Xbox.

EA pulled all support from the Dreamcast.

EA pulled support from Steam.

EA pulled support from the WiiU

Games make the rules. Not console manufactures.

Yup...not unless they're free.

Really can't wait for Activision, Square Enix, Capcom and Ubisoft early access as well.

lmao yeah eventually ea access will be tied with origin and they'll start to implement it to multiplayer (and PC will be affected too D: )

I would love to see EAs response in investor calls as to why they are skipping out on the console that sells bigger than the Wii and PS2. I pretty much spring a boner thinking about it.

These games...

Did no one pay attention to what EA Access is?

you forgot Season Passes... where you literally have no idea what you are paying for
