Well in Australia Fifa 19 will cost $89.99 for the baseline Standard Edition and likewise Battlefield 5 will be priced the same. Origin Access Premium will cost $129.99 per year, if you pre-order or buy 2 or more AAA titles per year from EA on release day, this ends up being a cheaper service and it will give you access to all their other games too. However I do wonder what Edition of the game comes in the Origin Access Premium? Standard, Delux, etc? For Fifa you get different items depending on the edition of the game. The disappointing factor is, should I wish to cancel this service, I will no longer have access to these games after the subscription ends. Personally I think paying for this deal monthly is definitely not worth it, but if you do plan on buying 2 or more AAA titles from EA, it becomes worth getting the yearly subscription.
Thats the main problem with it. Maybe one year you got 2+ AAA (BFV, Anthem, whatever XII, ...) games you want to buy, one year later you got none aaaaaaaaand still have to pay 100€/year if you want to keep playing your "old" games ( BFV ). Seems a good deal if you like EA games... but in the long run i dont know if it is that good.

I wonder if the subscription gives you access to all the loot boxes and microtransactions or if you still need to pay even more money for that.

^^I see it is only for PC, i wonder if this will come to the consoles because i might be temped for £3.99(i am sure i can knock another £1.50 off that with third party code sellers), to give ME4 with all the DLC a run through. 😉

Just buy games from Bethesda, they are the only legit company anymore. The other ones are all about stock holders and making them rich. They don't give a crap about gamers, even tho we are the ones making them their money.

I think: - Pay $100 a year for subscription, This gets you certain amount of 'credits' - Use credit to add permanent content to your account. (At least 1 full AAA Game and something extra around.)
Is it permanent? I had heard you lose access to it so long as you're not subscribed.

If only they made games I cared to play anymore. Battlefield was the last one and that's pretty much dead to me now too. On a slightly related and equally unappealing note: Doesn't Origin already offer some $5/month game-pass service for many of their slightly older titles? Anything on the list that I'm interested in I already own. They just seem to churn out rubbish anymore to make money. Every year a new version. Their games have no soul.

I have absolutely no interest in Anthem, Fifa, NFS, Star Wars, or Battlefield so I guess I am EA-free? :P
