Missed this one. EA said in its full-year earnings call last night that its going to launch two new online subs services in the coming year.
“On PC, our subscription revenue streams continue to grow with our Pogo and Warhammer businesses,” said CEO John Riccitiello.
“We also plan to introduce two additional online subscription services later in the fiscal year.”
Riccitiello expanded slightly in response to a question by Lazard’s Colin Sebastian.
“We think they’re consumer propositions first, and we want to use the best possible public relations to bring those to market in a way that will benefit the titles,” he said.
“We’ll certainly be communicating what they are on or around the next call.”
Get the rest of the news from the call here. Thanks, GI.

I’m guessing The Sims 3 will have some sort of payment/micro transaction scheme and of course, probably the launch of their cartoon MMO – The Old Republic

Why don’t they just make one for all their games and call it EA Connect or something like that.

@Syrok – good point.
Interesting to note that payment options are now becoming a PR issue? If I’m reading this right?

Whatever happened to that EA Nexus thing? It’s unbelievable how many times EA have missed the boat with an online PC service. It’s painful to see how smaller companies like Valve, Paradox and Stardock completely own them on that front and how those said companies actually make a good profit on PC.
