EA next week to release new subscription model for hot AAA games
Game publisher EA next week will release its Origin Access Premier service. With this subscription service, users can play new EA games without restrictions for a fixed monthly fee. Origin Access Premier is the latest addition to the already existing Origin Access subscription.
With Premier new games from EA can be played unlimited, that will now include launch titles an AAA games. Example, the publisher will publish FIFA , Anthem and Battlefield in the coming months which will be included in that model.
The current plan will be renamed to Origin Access Basic in the near future. That original version costs 4 euros per month or 25 euros per year. In that model 121 PC games from EA can be played unlimited. With Premier, again, the latest games, which are not yet included in the Basic package, become available. The subscription costs 15 euros per month or 100 euros per year writes Variety.

Price of 1.5 AAA titles per year is not that much really. If you buy 2 titles per year you are actually saving money already and get all the other games playable too including DLCs.

ME 3 was the "latest" AAA EA game I've wanted to play. I guess it's good for the Battlefield players but they probably get left out of the DLC train.

This is a bad precedent to set for future gaming... Hell, it's bad enough now-days that when you purchase a game you don't even have a physical copy anymore you're just "buying" a license to use the software. Vive port is doing this, & have not even logged into the account because you can get the same games on Steam for a cheap price, even more so if it's a sale. I see no point in this type of business model only to suck more money from the consumer & having nothing to show for your purchase. At least, for me, I don't own ANY EA games & probably never will.

That's starting cost to get people into platform. If there was text in signing up that service, that they are not going to increase price above inflation rate for next 5 years, then I would consider it quite fair.

I just don't understand this model from them... cost you 100 pounds a year, but for what? the two games a year they might bring out you want... then you can just buy them surely?
This would make way more sense for Steam to do where they do actually have a netflix kinda of catalogue of games. 121 games isnt a lot especially when you take into account many are old (so super cheap if you did want), games that no one would want to play anymore like titanfall 1 or games that are just plain boring or terrible. not to mention you don't get to actually keep the games which i guess for EA games most are pretty forgettable anyway XD

Um...isn't this how video games USED to be? You buy a game, you own it, and you can play it whenever you want without restrictions? Or am I missing something?

EA doesn't have anything worth playing so this is kind of pointless.
