Netflix takes down content when they fail or decline to renew licensing terms with the content owner. In this case EA is the content owner. It will be interesting to see if they introduce their own artificial scarcity when they control both content and distribution. A situation which Netflix only enjoys for a handful of shows. |

For now. If their service gets enough uptake, though, it's not hard to imagine other publishers wanting to get in on it as well. And why build your own service (and go through all the hassle of getting it on all the devices in the world) if you can just piggyback on EA's work? (As long as the fees and contracts are reasonable, of course.)
When Steam started out it was only a delivery channel for Valve titles, remember...
