Fysiske kopier eller digitale? Eller måske alle gratis med EA Access, PlayStation Plus og Xbox Live Gold? Eller en kombination af alle de ovenstående muligheder? Det har aldrig være lettere at spille spil, og EA forudsiger, at alle disse muligheder kan eksistere side og side.
Det er de digitale downloads der er fremtiden, ifølge EA's Chief Financial Officer Black Jorgensen, som talte ved Morgan Stanley Technology, Media & Telecom Conference i går. Her er hvad han havde at sige:
"We take a very simple view. We want the consumer to decide. We have great retail partners, we want to continue to maintain our great retail partners and they perform a lot of discovery and marketing services for us. And so, we believe there's a world where the retail partners are always going to be around, but also a lot of consumers, just like music and books, and movies, and TV have adopted, download digitally is ultimately the way of the future. We try to make sure that we're available in any place the people want to buy our games."
Jorgensen sagde også, at EA Access klarer sig bedre end forventet på Xbox One, og at tjenesten har fået en god start på PC også:
"Long-term, we think there's multiple models for delivery of games. People will buy games in the retail stores, they'll acquire them digitally from us, or they may subscribe to them and play in a subscription model."
