Plain-English summary
The terms state that EA may revise the terms for EA Play at any time in its sole discretion (risk_flags-1) and that content benefits are not guaranteed and may be switched, added, or removed at any time (risk_flags-2). For purchases made from Sony, subscriptions will auto-renew at the then-current price until canceled (cancellation_renewal-1). Additionally, Play List titles require an internet connection to confirm an active EA Play subscription upon initial launch and periodically thereafter for online and offline play (gotchas-1), and an EA Play subscription on one platform does not enable access to services on another platform.
