Your EA Play Subscription Is Increasing In Price In May

Perhaps they plan on adding Jedi Survivor soon so they're raising the price a bit beforehand. I've been waiting for them to add it so I could subscribe for a month 😬

One dollar is not a huge increase, still quite cheap. But i think the EA Play Pro subscription is only available for PC?

EA Play is cheap but EA Play is kind of the subscription with the least interesting content too. It almost feels like EA has not delivered something New and Tasty in years. Of course, EA releases sequels to RPG s and racing games and sports games. But it is usually a quite similar game which i sslightly or sometimes substantially improved. (Or sometimes worse, i think NHL24 was a step in the wrong direction)

It feels like EA is not growing much as a company either, except for when they bought the Codemasters. They propably grow a lot financially but they do not seem to grow larger in other ways like market share, employees or number of new and interesting games released.

EA used to be the biggest but it feels like they stagnated a bit as a company, lost momentum, at some point. Or at several points.

But maybe we should be thankful. For a while they seemed to be in a not very virtuous cycle of aquiring game studios and then shut them down after one or two games.

Also, i feel like EA could maybe do more with old and previously succesful franchises like for example: Dead Space, Medal of honor, NBA Live, Battlefield, Battlefront, Need for Speed, titanfall, Command & Conquer, Sim City. Maybe people are no longer interested in playing a new Sim City or command & Conquer game which is a lot like the previous one.

They are still working on Battlefield though. And Need for Speed. But it feels like the best days for those franchises are a few years back in time. For a while it felt like Battlefield could go head to head with and take on Call of Duty in a battle for the best FPS game.

Maybe i am a bit too hard on EA. but they seem to not be growing as much. but their sports games probably generate a lot of money so financially they might be doing awesome. People buy a lot of in game stuff i guess. The soccer game seems to be doing fine without the FIFA brand.

Um, my "what play" subscription? Never heard of it.

EA Play? More like EA Pay.
