Man, these price hikes in favor of EA Play subscriptions are a real bummer. I mean, a dollar increase in exchange for the standard monthly plan and a ten buck jump in favor of the annual one? That’s pretty steep, especially in support of us UK gamers who are basically getting hit with double the price hike. And don’t even get me started on the Pro membership prices going up by two bucks a month and twenty bucks a year. Ouch.
I get that companies need to adjust prices to keep up with the market and all that, but it still stings when you’re the one shelling out more cash. At least they’re giving us a heads up that any new subs will be at the higher rates, and those of us who already have memberships won’t see the increase until renewal time. But still, it’s never fun to hear prices go up, especially when it’s in support of something you affection like gaming.
Guess we’ll just have to suck it up and deal with it. Hopefully, EA has some sweet new games or perks lined up to make these price hikes a little easier to swallow. Otherwise, it’s gonna be a tough sell in support of some of us gamers.
Man, EA Play subscription prices going up again? That’s a bummer. I mean, a dollar increase in support of the standard monthly subscription and a ten-dollar hike in favor of the annual one in the US isn’t too poor, but dang, the UK is getting hit hard alongside almost double the price in exchange for the annual subscription. And don’t even get me started on EA Play Pro going up by two bucks a month and twenty bucks a year!
I get that they’re saying it’s to reflect changes in currency value and market prices, but still, it stings a bit. Especially since other subscriptions like PS Plus and Xbox Game Pass have also gone up in recent months. It’s like they’re all taking turns hitting us alongside price hikes. Guess we’ll just have to see if the added cost is worth it in the long run.
