Your Thoughts on a Possible EA Sports Subscription Service

The preparation of a “subscription service” by EA Sports has created widespread discussion throughout gaming communities. Though nothing is official yet the documents and surveys circulating suggest optional value add-ons for a yearly fee ranging from $14.99 to $34.99 are on the way. The “service” looks to be akin to a loyalty program, an idea EA also flirted with in the past, though with an upfront fee and perks that go beyond simple discounts.

Comments regarding the idea of a subscription have ranged from extreme interest in particular due to the ability transfer DLC from one iteration to the next and get games early, to those who feel such a program is the introduction of a slippery slope that will lead to current features being removed from games and then made available for an additional charge.
