No you don't. You pay a subscription to play newer games without having to purchase them. The old games are there to play for free.
I guess you're using a PS4 wishing that Sony hadn't passed up on EA ACCESS...

8 months is soooooooooooooo old... that's like so last year now (literally).... Im not interested in playing any game unless it came out this week... when its a week old... I cant be bothered... it has to be proper new... I went through a phase of only playing Alpha test games... they are so new they aren't even out....
Yeah EA and Games for gold suck... I only play new games... 8 month old games... pah...
next you will be saying Movies made as far back as 2015 can be decent... or music that was released before the last 8 months is good... new music is best
EVERYONE knows... NEW = best. and new means... less than 8 months old.
Glad I am not the only one that feels this way.

Possibly old news, but they've been added today to the vault

The important word here is 'paid'. If I don't pay for the subscription, do I get those 5 games? No. Money has to be paid to get access to those 5 games, therefore they are not 'free'. A load of companies incorrectly use 'free' in their advertising ('25% extra free' etc.), but that doesn't magically change the definition of the word.
If you only wanted Dragon Age and was prepared to pay £20 per year for it then the other games are technically free, yes.
If you pay £20 for the current list of games (25+) and in a months time, EA adds 5 more without asking you to pay any more for them then they're free.

So if I only paid for EA Access for Dragon Age would that mean I get 14 games for free? :laughing:
In all seriousness, EA Access is a service for providing games and continuously adding games is part of that service. That's what you're paying for, the entire service and not just a set amount of games on there. It's not free, nothing about EA Access is.

Please don't rest your case. Netflix is constantly removing items from its service too so it's not comparable.
stuarthanley
12 Jan 17#57
If you've paid for 10 games and they then add 5 more, you initially paid for 10 games. You're getting the 5 for free UNTIL you have to pay again.

12 Jan 171#56
If you don't pay for the subscription, you don't get the 5 extra games. They aren't 'free'.
They've removed the EA Access reference. Shame :disappointed:
I was surprised it wasn't announced with the announcement to be honest. We'll just have to wait and see.

MS Germany have edited. BF2 will not be available on EA Access :disappointed:

Should individual films added to Netflix be upped as an individual deal as well?
I rest my case, just more spam cluttering the site.
stuarthanley
12 Jan 17#52
So getting more for your money isn't a deal then? I think you're on the wrong website :wink:
jimferno
12 Jan 171#51
Depends on your circumstances I suppose. Over the years I've amassed a library of all the games I'm likely to enjoy and play across various platforms.
Paying a subscription to EA to demo their new games and play a selection of old titles essentially offers me nothing.
If you've only just started gaming and have limited funds I guess it provides some value but an extra title added to a subscription service still isn't a deal.

Thats subjective what you have said, a lot of people including me agree EA access is great value for money, just because you only like to play new releases and don't see this as a deal doesn't mean theres no deal for everyone else to take advantage of, you are entitled to your opinion however

PC, XBONE and PS4 so you'd be wrong there console peasant. :stuck_out_tongue:
Have never seen the value of this subscription service and this doesn't qualify as a 'deal' in my book I'm afraid.
EA games are definitley nothing to miss either. :man:

I shall wind it in...
Go Go Gadget neck...
ah that's an old reference isn't it...
newisbest.
My point is clear...
a game that is 6/8 months old is new.
Anyone buying EA access will know what they are getting they wont be going in blind and even if they do at £20 so what... dont renew next year... its exceptional value.
Not on facebook with you cool kids.... its not new enough for me.
MichaelGL
12 Jan 17#40
Wind your neck in Jo. or Dan. Which one is it? Do you have a joint facebook too? With "full time mummy" at "skool of lyf" listed under job?
The fact is that they aren't new games. Best not to get people subscribing expecting to play games at release off the back of duff info.

Hi guys just bought bf3 premium edition brand new do you think the code for dlc will have expired?
Thanks

Completely different. You don't have to pay £40 again the next year to carry on playing.
BTW i'm a PS4 and Xbox owner.
stuarthanley
12 Jan 172#31
No you don't.
If a subscription includes 10 games when you bought it and 5 more games are added, you are getting those games for free.
If you buy a game for £40 and the developer releases free DLC for that game, you're saying it's not free?
EDIT: ah, never mind. Another PS owner just trolling

It isn't free if you have to pay for it.

Very cool, BF: Vietnam was the greatest Battlefield of all times imo, still log on to the PC version from time to time;

12 Jan 17#28
Depends on your definition of new. I'd say that a game released in the last 6 months, given away for free, could be classed as new.

Not on uk ea access yet?

So not new then.
Suppose this part way makes up for Scalebound being scrapped.

Mirrors Edge Catalyst was 6 months old.

What new games? I thought EA Access let you play games that 8+ months old as well as four hours or so of new games a week before release (A paid demo)
Has this changed?

Its not on the Xbox Store at least. Interesting... But I think it was something to do with the issues with multi-disc games as downloads at the time.
