It makes the case that EA Access is allowing games to be seen poorly at a point in their launch when they are most vulnerable.

I think that's a good point, with EA Access, the game can't be 'not ready'.

I wondered if they'll pull that some time. Didn't work well for them the last few times. Gotta say, it's at least some form of honest practice comeing from them.

That would be a culture problem then, if Access is effectively turning into a last minute beta for the dev teams to gage feedback.

This guy takes his time going to the important bit but main thing is that EA has leaked customer info though maybe...maybe not as bad as Bethesda. Still, it's cause for concern for any who has been actively buying games from EA.
