Origin Access (Premier) users

I'm sure there are several threads about this already but I couldn't seem to find much when I was searching.

What are the opinions on this service? At face-value it seems great. $14 a month to play all the games in the vault that I can stand?

Is there a catch that I'm not seeing?

This is essentially like having a Gamefly subscription for PC titles, which is something I have always hope Gamefly would add to their service, anyway.

For some reason, paying $60 for a new game bothers me tremendously unless it is something that I have been really looking forward to like Witcher 3. Some games I will still probably pay to own outright. But $14 to play all of the other titles I probably wouldn't have bought until they were on a steam sale for $9.99 years down the road seems swell.

What am I missing?

Are their other PC-specific subscription services out there that I don't know about?

If steam did something like this I would be plum giddy

Thanks for the feed back and any stories/experiences y'all have had with this prior to now,

I ended up getting it for a month to try and haven't been let down thus far.

I've got about 8 games downloaded on my notebook and desktop at home and am able to play them both interchangeably with save-point syncs between the two, which is nice.

I don't know that there is much more in the vault I don't already own or would want to play once I finish these but renting access to them for $14 a month beats the hell out of buying each one new.

I may end up just paying for the year for $99 as that ends up being half the price of paying monthly over the same amount of time. Unless they add more games to the vault fairly often, I should be finished with everything I want to play in there within a year and still come out ahead financially vs buying each game individually.

Are there any other subscription models that exist? I kinda like having a smaller monthly bill but being able to play whatever I want as opposed to buying each game individually and being stuck with it for life.

 

Am I in trouble around these parts?

 

I've thought about getting the access but there isn't that many EA games I care about. If I did, I would probably just get the access instead of the premiere just so I could test a game for 10 hours to see if I wanted it. Glad you're happy with it though.
