|
 |
| Quote: | | Starting with the release of Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11 on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, the publisher will introduce a new Online Pass, a one-time registration code included with each brand new copy of the game. The code allows players to access "online services, features and bonus content. |

So far its only announced for Consoles but i wont be surprised if its going to make its way to the PC.

The way I see it, if this comes to the PC, count me in.
This is basically an acknowledgment from EA, that those who pirate, wouldn't buy the game, if they couldn't pirate! Finally a publisher opens their eyes, and sees, that this is the way to capitalize on pirates. It's a win-win.

yep if it is what it sounds like, and makes it to pc, not only is it good for gamers, but its smart for EA.. they know theyve lost a sale to a pirate who isnt going to go out and buy it, but hey.. $10 for multiplayer access is a great deal for the player, and thats an extra $10 that EA wouldnt have normally got.
fuck EA, those insidious bastards for understanding gamers and finding a way to make me want to pay money for their shit...
now all they have to do is start making games that id want to play online...

EA makes you pay for yearly updates (50€ for fresh rosters), and people are complaining about this?

As far as I see it it doesn't really mean piracy or such but rather used game sales which several other publishers have also had "issues" with, not a problem on PC though (Or at least not here.) since you can't buy used PC games.

Wasn't EA or Ubisoft or some bigger studio like that already planning a demo/trial purchase plan?
(Crytek made a comment about it and was supporting the idea as well so I think it might have been EA, longer gameplay and more content but at a price like 10$ or some such.)

so to explain why its called the next phase... the first phase was riping content from a full game and selling it as a DLC , next phase its they block Live access (think console game will be like PC games with serials to get the online stuff)
now if you buy a new game you get two serials that will give you the cut content DLC and multiplayer for FREE,
but if you buy this game used you have to pay 10$ to get the DLC and another 10$ to get the live code

I don't see a problem with this at all. Used games = Piracy, more or less. It's the same to the developer/publisher.

Are you guys/girls reading the comments? they're hilarious.. this is one of 'em..
| Quote: | | WTF!?? that is crossing the line big time. used game sales don't hurt these companies. The game was bought new at some point or another. This is greed at a fucking premium. Screw the video game industry they are completely trying to take advantage of their customers. This HAS TO STOP!! |

For me used game sales would be much worse then piracy if i where a publisher or even developer. Because someone else gets the money for my work which clearly isnt the case with piracy.

But don't forget, every time we buy a brand new game, we have to pay 10 pound extra?

It's just like cerberus for ME2 then...I can live with that.
Only problem I see with this is the endless DLC crap to lure in those said pirates and used game buyers.

No, if you buy it new it will have a code included that can be used on one account.

Who cares? They are happy they get money (and I am happy for them) while pirates (incl. me) get those DLC for free. What's wrong with that?

Gotta wonder how that will affect the rental industry - like Gamefly, and such.

your comparison to piracy is utterly and completely flawed.
when a used game is sold that means it was bought new at one time or another in the past, and publisher already got its share. also, when used game is sold previous owner can't play it any more.
maybe trading of 2nd hand stuff should be banned altogether. i'm sure car manufacturers and other industries would be more than happy about this.

Also, when you buy new car, do you need to keep the old one, or can you sell it, to reduce costs.
Same works for games, at least most of them.
IMHO, games that can't be resold are effectively worth less then those that can.
