Note that nowhere does he say, "... and instead customers that purchase pre-owned will get the same full experience that new purchasers do".

Their probably doing away with "online pass" because next gen their gonna have a "used pass" that you have to purchase if you want to play a used game on next gen consoles.

This wouldn't have happened unless the profit margin was larger without the Online Pass than it was with. Do not deceive yourselves, gamers. This is still a move dictated by money, not consumer goodwill.

But to make up for it, im sure EA will incorporate Micro-transactions into all of their games, and might make some of their games Pay to win within early stages of a games debut.

We are discontinuing Online Passes for used games... because next box and ps4 won't accept used games.

Well, looks like you learned two things today, 1) Bioshock Infinite does have robotic Lincolns, and 2) Never be "that guy" on the internet unless you are 100% sure you are absolutely correct unless you want to be corrected over and over again.

Not interested. Nothing will trump the always online thing for me, if it's true. They could nail Rockstar as exclusive and I still won't budge. Yes, it is that big for me. I'd be mixed except when moving into my current place I had a little over a week of no internet. My PS3 was on quite a bit because of that. To…

Games like this make me question how anyone could say that game's aren't art.

Easy on the coffee bud.

Note to self, don't have a twitter.

yes.

This doesn't really surprise me, honestly. I think Nintendo's been sort of passively trying to sidestep that "family" reputation they have, because it's really starting to cripple them whenever a game that isn't Mario or Zelda gets brought up. And I mean, have you seen the radical new art style that Awakening uses?…
