The bottom line is EA access is great value. The fact that it is for XB1 only (as of now) is mainly why I feel the general opinion is negative towards it. 30 dollars to have the games in the vault now would cost users around $150-$200 ala carte.

Also, the used game market, at least in GameStop, is straight robbery for the gamer. Being able to flip my copy of M15 for 15 bucks towards M16 is something I won't miss at all.

If I feel patient enough, I could just wait for M15 to go in the vault around this time next year even. I'll get my free trial to decide if it's worth it.

EA cutting the middle man is great for gamers. As greedy as people like to portray EA, this is a good deal.
