playing a game when ea play expires, but an addon was bought separately for it

I am playing BF2042 via xbox/pc gamepass with eaplay included to see how it is and I liked it surprisingly. bought the Year 1 pass and Ultimate pack for it costing 27 euro

My question is if my ea play subscription expires or I cancel it, will I be prohibited from playing the base BF2042 game even though I bought the ultimate edition as it says on the addon poster?

    Hi @SN4K3_MLT to confirm based on the second screenshot you purchased the year 1 pass and ultimate pack, those do not come with the game itself. 

    If your subscription expires you would need to either renew it or purchase the game in order to keep access. If you look at the screenshot below, the add-on will say that the game itself is required to play.

    @EA_Illium I had a feeling it was going to be this way and truthfully I'm disappointed to hear this. I noticed BF2042 was on sale as soon as I got the Microsoft PC/EA play game pass. I could have bought the ultimate edition seperately during the sale which was the same price of it being an addon if memory serves right, and also the poster of the "addon" is extremely misleading as its clearly shows "ultimate edition" in the bottom... which made me assume I'd be the owner of the ultimate edition and not still tied to an EA play subscription.
    I also would like to know that if I cancel my Microsoft PC/EA gamepass subscription I lose all progress ingame and the addon stuff that I spent 28 euro on? its not your fault obviously but this EA policy which is very unfair and misleading but thanks for the answer.
