the only people that benefits from this deal are those who already have or would have bought xbox one anyway, anyone else and it is a slap in the face.
Should they not provide it for the Xbox One because Sony turned it down for the PS4? I don't think so.
By definition, KoA didn't sell well enough!
Did I ever say well enough? No, I said it sold very well.

Not true Kingdoms of Amalaur did really well the issue for the company was that the folks who owned them tried to make a MMO based on the work done on a single game. MMO's are among the most expensive games to make, and they simply didn't have the money to make it. If they had stuck to making Triple A single player games, say more Amalaur they'd still be here today.
I'd get EA Access for new Amalur, but that's a pipe dream.
I know, Xbox One's subscription is I believe $60 for a year of Live, no? Thats what I was getting at with the double paywall.
Even if it's a year, you are at $90 a year now, you get a lot of EA games for free, early access, and discounts on DLC and games for the ones you may have downloaded. It makes the second hand market look like a joke in comparison.
You don't need Gold for EA access.

it really was a great game, I am so glad that they did the Mass Effect/Amalur cross over promotion because that promotion is what introduced me to the game, and if they hadn't I'd have risked missing it.

Same. Sad, it had potential.
Anyone in the dashboard preview program on Xbox One? Microsoft/EA is already giving out codes for participants to try out EA Access.

I didn't know that, but it makes sense given Microsoft's wanting to remove Gold as a requirement for certain apps.
But I imagine most with EA Access would also have a Gold account.

Justinia and I both. She's actually already paid $5 for a month and was playing Battlefield 4 thru it, I on the other hand would rather wait for games I'm more interested in before giving it a go.

I can't sign in for some reason.

XBL is having some issues at the moment.
Now if you'll excuse me, lemme screen shot my straight fours

Ah, okay. I at least know it isn't me then. Thank you. 
And we see how successful 38 Studios was with "KoA". Maybe the "hour-or-so demo" simply convinced people they didn't like the game!
I picked it up for next to (possibly exactly) nothing on EA/Origin and spent about an hour messing about.
Found the characters too cartoonish, the dialogue simply instructions or exposition, and nothing about the lore/setting to really grip me.
Still have it, but haven't played since that first time.
I agree, the potential was there though. The dialogue was the biggest issue, cartoonish is a stretch...but to each their own. Gameplay however was really solid, its not here nor there though.
You don't need Gold for EA access.
Then it's still a damn good deal, based on the math.
So, you're basically paying 30$, to get a 10% discount on DA:I, and play it some days beforehand.
Plus, to get whatever free games EA puts in the "vault", which are probably not the brand new games obviously.
If you're into EA games, it sounds nice, but meh, no thanks. Not that i own an XBOX1, but whatever.

Or you can pay 5$ to get the early access, get the 6$ discount and whatever games are in the vault in november.
Yet another snub of PC gamers. This is getting seriously annoying.
It shouldn't be surprising anymore tho.

You sure KoA was profitable? It sold 1.2 million copies, which is OK but not a huge hit.
I am so conflicted by sony turning it down because i think it is just a dirty money grab trick but I probably would of still used it and I blame my hereditary fr this Hippocratic part of me and I don't really like Ea but they have so many good games coming from it or at least in my opion and being a sport fan who only really rage quits during their sports games f****ng psychic cornerbacks

I would be careful with this route. The EA Access terms of service are.... less than clear... on whether or not you get to keep a digital copy you purchased with a discount. It really depends on what EA means by "purchase separately."
Should they not provide it for the Xbox One because Sony turned it down for the PS4? I don't think so.
Sure but i just don't like this trend of slapping subscription on everything AND what about PC players, why are they once again forgotten??!!
Sony is Sony, but what is this about PC owner bucks not being good enough? Not giving EA my money feels way better when I have an option to do it.
