Wondering why EA Access – the subscription service that offers buffet-style access to Electronic Arts titles, 10 percent discounts on all of EA’s digital Xbox One content and five days’ worth of early access to major EA releases – isn’t coming to PlayStation systems? According to a Sony statement to Game Informer, the answer is simple: It’s not good value.
“We evaluated the EA Access subscription offering and decided that it does not bring the kind of value PlayStation customers have come to expect,” a Sony rep told Game Informer. “PlayStation Plus memberships are up more than 200 percent since the launch of PlayStation 4, which shows that gamers are looking for memberships that offer a multitude of services, across various devices, for one low price. We don’t think asking our fans to pay an additional $5 a month for this EA-specific program represents good value to the PlayStation gamer.”
