You can now play Battlefield V... assuming you didn't buy it

[ET3D]

subscriptions ABSOLUTELY DO NOT "always save you money". Case and point battlefield V. How does paying $130 a year save you money over buying a $60 game exactly?

I'll try to explain slowly, though I doubt it will help.

You totally ignored the "if you're already a regular user". The point is, if you already buy a few EA games a year, then a subscription will be cheaper.

Perhaps the Deluxe edition gets you the edition with various bug patches which are found by the Origin Access players and fixed in the first few days

Of course you are right. But your comment "you simply don't understand the idea behind it" triggered him. And me.
The gaming companies may market a subscription as a way for regular gamers to save money. But what they really want is for everyone else to be lured into the subscription model and then feel obliged to spend even more on games to justify the monthly cost. Or just keep the subscription model going for a few years. It's the job of the EA marketing folks to lure people in and then lock them in. Hopefully the non-regular gamers will have more sense. But we know that many won't.

They have had the 10 hour free trial for years now. This is nothing new at all. Just because origin access has come out your making a bigger deal out of it than it really is. The whole point of having access is to try the game and see if you wanna cancel your preorder or buy it. So quit trying to create drama

Stop trying to be all positive and stuff

The Origin Premiere price is 14.99. Fix your article. Use facts next time.

Forgive me, this is a bit of a ramble....

EA cares about the money, and only the money, which seems to be common amongst the big US based companys, (chaos at Microsoft, but thats off topic). Origin is a joke, and has been since launch. Battlenet and Steam show how it can be done properly. EA doesnt have a clue about pricing, 54.99 UKP is console pricing for BF V, there is no hardware licensing fee for PC releases, so that is pure profit , or it would be if it sells, which is doubtfull. The game looks like a BF1 reskin anyway, other than the Nvidia ray tracing addon, which its top hardware can barely run. The monthly rental thing is another Microsoft like thing, assuming everyone wants 365. They can keep that too thanks.

Ramble done for now.
