You are quoting one month's membership of Origin Access Premier and in order to continue to play you need to stay subscribed.
It's a rental model vs. a purchase model. You will own the game to play anytime, they won't if they stop subscribing.
I've even seen people buy the game and plan to have an OAP sub for one month only to get full early access.
Seems an expensive way to do it, but it's a choice I guess.
But don't you agree it should not be a choice? Whoever pays for the deluxe does so to to not have to worry about missing things and earlier launchdates, yet cheaper Premier subscribers get first dibs to play the game. If you want to own the game AND play on 11 october the only choice is to buy plus basically rent the game. Whoever buys the game has to pay €14.99 on top for 5 days of earlier play. It all seems a bit like a racket.

I do agree that purchasers of the 'best version' and renters of the 'best subscription' should have parity.
I hope that this advantage is promotional in nature to get some subscriptions and that rental won't always be advantaged over purchase in the future.
