Hi folks, first post and I just read this wonderful bit of prose from EA Sports vice president Andrew Wilson...
"If we look at what consumers have pushed other industries for, if we look at what consumers forced the music industry to provide, if we look at what consumers have driven as a result of television and movie subscription, if you look at us - there's absolutely a time somewhere at some point in the future where the consumers say, 'Hey, this is how we want to interact with you - we want to give you a monthly or annual subscription and we want access to everything you make,'" Wilson told Eurogamer.
"They get to drive the time and place for it, and a lot of it is technology dependent, but absolutely we can see a future where that might be the way we deliver games."

It's always been in the making this for gaming due to the sheer amount of people gaming these days.
Just hope they don't go too far and price everyone out of it.
I certainly don't wanna pay full price for a game then not say have access to online play because i ain't paid 20 pounds a fucking month.
