EA Access, the subscription-based gaming service from Electronic Arts, will be free for a total of 10 days this coming June. According to a report from EuroGamer, Xbox Live with Gold members will be able to take full advantage of the service completely for free from June 12 to June 22. 

"Want to share EA Access with a friend who couldn't make it to EA Play? All Xbox Live Gold members can check it out for free from June 12 - 22, 2016. All they have to do is download the EA Access app on Xbox One to get started," reads the official email sent by EA to select members and the press. 

As verified by the report, this means that any Xbox Live with Gold subscriber can download any of the games included in the EA Access vault within those 10 days. Some of the games included in the EA Access vault are "Dragon Age: Inquisition," "Battlefield 4," "Madden NFL 16" and "Dead Space."

Windows Central reports that EA Access during those few days will allow other plays unable to attend the EA Play event, which will take place during this year's E3, to download and play some of the demos of the games they are presenting this year. This will allow players to try first-hand some of the new games EA will be showcasing at E3.

It is unclear, however, if further access will be given for EA Origins Access given that this will expand the vault to games like the "Mass Effect" trilogy and the "Dragon Age" trilogy of games.

Access to full updates and DLC is also undetermined at this point, although it is speculated that during those 10 days Xbox Live with Gold subscribers will get full access to these as well, emulating a real paid subscription.

Monthly subscription for EA Access normally costs $4.99 and a yearly subscription is priced at $29.99.

Does the Church of England need to re-think its messaging?

If you look at the Church of England’s communications all that it ever seems to highlight is the good works that Christians do to improve the temporal well-being of their neighbours. It is right to highlight these things, but they are not the primary reason for the Church’s existence.
