MS wont really care. This is just another app on the One. EA will feel the pain if there are mass cancellations.

Don't know if this was asked. So after the 6hrs will you then be able to purchase the full version? Or you gotta wait until tuesday? If I have to wait, id rather go buy the disk.

Wait a second. I pay $30 a year and am able to access a library of games at my convenience, and I'm privileged to (while time limited) an early access to other EA games? And I should be upset?

How many times on these forums have we seen people selling their souls to gain a few days early release to some of these games? Some have paid 20 to 30% more than the game is worth.

It's $30 a year. I'll be enjoying Madden early. I won't even have to leave my couch, while some are traveling to neighboring states to get a boner over their early copy.

Season Ticket offered a "trial" and it was available for 3 days. It was safe for people to assume this would be similar.

As a company, do you think it is wise to give a consumer, who is not guaranteed to purchase your $60 game, 72 hours of access to your product?

This site does have an age limit, no? I mean I hope I'm speaking to adults here and not wasting my time imparting logic into this conversation.

You're paying $30 a month for this? Tell me more about this magical plan you've signed up for that is 3x the price of Netflix.

So a $30/year program that currently has 4 titles included and will add more in time while never removing any, plus discounts on game and DLC purchases is bad? I'd rather have this then pay $25 for Season Pass that only game 72 hour access for 5 games (now 4) and some DLC discounts.

The Vault selection will have to significantly improve or early access terms change before re-upping, for sure, but no regrets about picking up the first year of the new service.

This is the appropriate reaction.
