[quote name='Thekrakrabbit']Absolutely terrible, but not unbelieveable. First EA shuts down the online for MADDEN NFL 09 (!!), but now they are going to be taking their most popular sports franchises and locking out online for used gamers? I mean come on, this is getting to the point where it feels like EA is becoming a Communist company, forcing me to do things I shouldn't be forced to do (such as having to buy Madden 10 to play online, or buy new to get/pay for a "Pass").
Its getting insane, and people had better not be paying for these passes. It doesn't matter if EA MMA is the greatest game that has ever been and will have ever been made, if I have to buy a "Pass" to play online I would rather just play the single player or never play online. I refuse to submit to EA's money hungry will that will continue to grow more and more threatening to gamers (especially cheap ones) unless we nip this now![/QUOTE]
I agree with you, but i find it funny calling them communist, this is capitalism in it's most raw sense. like i said before, we're heading for a time where you buy a game disk and activation code. or hell, maybe just the activation code and then your xbox just downloads the game. we're already there with the psp, when buying a psp game code, that's the future whether we like it or not. personally, if that's how they want to do, fine, but with this method comes significant savings, so games better get cheaper somehow though i doubt that will ever happen.
