So why isn't this a problem with EA/Origin Access? I never see any concern about it devaluing EA games.
EA Premier is the 15/month service with like 4 titles per year. That is a lot of money to rent anthem, fifa, nfs and jedi this year.
Either they are greedy, or their strategy does not see how including all games on day 1 on the Basic service is a viable one.
Plus nobody on the forum is presenting ea access as the future of gaming, even if they already have 3m+ subs.
edit: You could have a fairly interesting discussion should you be able to weight the EA Access/GP/Uplay+/PSnow services in terms of their value and popularity.
• Uplay+ is crap for the titles they have so far, especially without the cheap tier and delays on their games
• I like EA's Basic and Premier model, but I think they need to somehow make them cross-platform and make sure that Dice/Bioware isn't outputting trash
• Sony could use a premium tier similar to Origin Premier when next-gen starts
• I don't think Nintendo should ever have their new games (and up to two years old) titles in the renting service because they are still selling Zelda and Mario for full prices years after launch.
• I don't see a need for Activision to have the sub service yet. They have massive sales and low software output. Perhaps returning/rebranding COD Elite? service to give access to all COD games + DLC would make sense.
