Will Squadrons be under the EA Play Play First scheme?
I was wondering if, as an EA Play Basic subscriber, if I will get the 10 hour trial 7 days prior to release like with some other games.

This isn't an answer though, this is just deflecting from the question. We know we get the cosmetics, i'm not buying the game when I've been paying 15$ a month for two years now for a service that's supposed to include all EA games. So can we get a direct answer, will Squadrons be on ea play pro or not?
- @coltifus I just got a month of EA Play Pro, thinking I would be able to play Squadrons 10 days early. No where did I see it say "Only select games will be available early on EA Play Pro." Already pre-ordered on steam, so... I hope I find additional value to the subscription, else it is not worth it.

I posted this in another post and shows it will be available on EA Play Pro:
- "Access to exclusive player benefits and a library of top titles including fan-favorite series and premium games."
- "The chance to try out selected new-release games before launch for up to 10 hours of playtime. If you decide to buy the game, all of your saved progress carries over, so you can pick up right where you left off."
- "EA Play members can download and try upcoming EA games before they’re released for a limited time. Yep – that’s right, you’ll be the first to play EA’s latest and greatest with an EA Play membership."
When I read these three quotes together, I see my confusion. The first only suggests that a title like Squadrons would be included (a top title, a fan-favorite series and it looks like a premium game). The last is from the FAQ for EA Play subscription, and is an absolute statement, and I relied on it - foolish me! The second reveals the dreaded "selected" word, which means, it'll never be the titles I expect or want. Football (what's a football?) and soccer get early access, but for some reason, not Squadrons.
@CarbonCarl that link only specifies that EA Play and EA Play Pro users will receive Squadrons cosmetics. "Unlimited access to all our latest titles as soon as they drop": then why is The Sims 4: Star Wars not included? Thanks for trying, but the benefits of either subscription service seems inherently vague. Well, I'm stuck with it for a month, so we'll see how it goes.
But I've got a bad feeling about this.
