EA Launches Origin Access at $4.99 Monthly
EA Access now offers a subscription service that allows you access a hand full of games from their Vault for a monthly fee. The only real downside to the service is that it has only been available to Xbox One owners. Today, the company announced Origin Access, their solution for PC gamers.
Much like their EA Access program, you'll be able to pay a set fee to have access to any games in The Vault. Unfortunately, The Vault that PC gamers have access to will only launch with 15 titles.
attlefield 3
Battlefield 4: Digital Deluxe
Battlefield Hardline: Digital Deluxe
Dragon Age: Origins – Ultimate Edition
Dragon Age 2
Dragon Age: Inquisition
The Sims 3 Starter Pack
FIFA 15
Need for Speed Rivals: Complete Edition
SimCity
This War of Mine
Dead Space
Dead Space 2
Dead Space 3
Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare
EA has confirmed that they will be adding more games to The Vault over time, much the same way they've done for Xbox One subscribers. In addition to having access to Vault games, you will have early access to some new games, as well as a 10% discount on the purchase of full games. Just like with the Xbox One offering, the subscription will be $4.99 per month.

This is not a bad idea for games that you can complete the single player campaign in a month or two. However for games like Sim City and Fifa you would want to purchase those because they have more than 1 month of game play unless you are trying those games out before purchasing them.

Weak selection. They should've had Titanfall in it too.

just an important point:
for $4.99 of the xbox live service you have FULL COMPLETE GAME twice a month (mean that you still have it even if you close your suscription)... when EA offer you only access.
i think they mistake with PSN lol
Now on X1 you get the 360 games also so depending on console it is 2 or 4 games a month.

Still, imagine that you have 2 months of free time at your hand and you'll play all those single player games for $10.
You do not have to care once you are done with them.
It is OK for someone who knows that he/she will be very busy afterwards.

Because depending on your time you could play through all the single player campaigns in just a month, for 4.99$ if you really want or need to, which would indeed save you money. Not my thing still.
