When I re-read it, the statement that EA Access "does not bring the kind of value PlayStation customers have come to expect" is such a horseshit excuse. If that is the case, Sony, why did you allow EA Season Ticket on PSN for years which represented far less value than EA Access does?
Perhaps I'd have a little more empathy for Sony if they were actually honest about why they have chosen not to support EA Access, instead of making up some bullshit.
It's obvious but I mean, it's you so let's explain it like this.
This EA access is a joint effort created by Microsoft and EA. EA didn't come up with this one their own, as well as the fact that it's exclusive.
Secondly, PS+ offers the same exact thing. Now this is a direct threat to their business model as now, EA can scrape their titles out of the service entirely and offer a price on it outside Ps+
Thirdly, since EA is doing this, it devaluates the idea of PS+ which caters to all publishers because now it's puts them in the situation that if EA wants to make their own cut, to which would possibly cause all publishers to back out and do the same thing thus killing off PS+ major perks.
The terrible thing about this, is the fact that Sony didn't want to test the situation and went ahead and made the decision for its customer's what they feel is less valuable. They are never going to be honest that it's because it's a Microsoft exclusive, just the same way Microsoft won't say the same about how GWG was purely inspired by Ps+.
