@Nerdishgeek Origin Access includes many other games besides Sims. If you're only interested in Sims then of course it makes more sense to just buy that instead. But for others who play many other games besides, the subscription is quite good value, since a yearly Premier subscription works out around the same price as buying two new games per year. And it's about 100 games or more included in the subscription at this point, with more being added every month. When you think about it like that it makes a whole lot more sense to use a subscription rather than buying games.
