EA Getting Rid of Online Passes
I recently bought a used copy of Battlefield 3 as an early B-day present for my son, only to find out he couldn't play online with his friends. (which was kind of the whole point.)
This is good news. Quote:

Well, that is probably bad news..
Pessimist me says, it means games will ship with less, then two weeks after launch will have new content and items, but only with small purchases. Or season pass for the whole year at a discount. Then even if the game resells at gamestop, most of the data will have to be bought online to have the complete game for most gamers. They get that sold without having to make more physical copies of the game. |

i'd be thrilled if they lowered the price of games and left the online component out.
Yeah, I know. they won't lower the price.

Essentially, "online pass" replaced with "entire game pass." |

meh, I'm done with console gaming.
XBOX games are a joke. Developers are forced to make shitty games for mass appeal. A game can be good until it becomes popular, then Activision or EA will buy it and ruin it. Or just ruin it.
