The “cool free stuff” used to be unlocked upon completeing a game, now you charge for it, thanks for that.

So in not so many words they are saying they have to include online passes in order for them to grow as a buissness and make games we love?

funny that as i have been playing games as long back as i can remember and im 26 and i LOVE alot games from back in the day, which were made without the knowledge of money comming in down the line and turned out just fine.
also what did devolopers do before the online pass was invented by a publisher with £ symbols in his eyes? BEG?

“Every single person on the planet could wait and not buy Reckoning, the game would hit the bargain bin at some point and you could get it cheaper. 38 Studios would likely go away.”
Now thats how buisness works and its how the computer games industry has worked for years, you make a good game you thrive you make a weak game and you wither and die or push through to another release if your lucky, there are plenty of devolopers that would laugh in Curt Schillings face for saying his company needs the profits from ‘day one DLC’ in order to make great games.

we had some great games from devolopers in the past without the online pass its simply another excuse and not even a good one.

Because of this crap I definitely wont be purchasing this game new if at all..I hope this games fails badly..it would serve EA right, there is no other company that I hold such contempt and hatred for than EA.

That man loves to CAPITALISE his words.
If only we could take a page out of his book we could convince the world to believe whatever bollocks we want.
Paying rent to the landlord, ‘Give ME all YOUR money!’
Pulling in a pub, ‘Not only will you have SEX with ME but YOU will PAY for the TAXI to your’s and MAKE me BREAKFAST in the MORNING and NEVER call me AGAIN.’
We would all have fantastic hassle-free lives with this FOOLPROOF technique.

I buy all my games from new but still get pissed off when I see online passes and codes etc.

Games developers will moan that they get nothing from the re-sale of a 2nd hand game while someone else is making a profit out of their hard work, but as I have paid the full RRP for their product I should be able to do what the feck I like with it, after the point of sale I don’t give a damn how long the game was in development, its mine, I chose to buy it on the back of their hard work and skill but that doesn’t mean you get to milk it untill the day it breaks!
I don’t get Samsung telling me I have to register my TV to get BBC and if i sell it i do so without that channel from that day on.

I loved Batman AC but if I trade that game the person who buys it has to buy Catwomen! really! that is just bullshit, she is a vital part of the game. DLC in general I have no issue with but holding back on what should be available to everyone is just robbery.
Online passes mean that once I have played a game on my ps3 online my kids can’t on theirs!
Do they expect me to buy 2 bloody copies!!!

It needs to stop… but don’t hold your breath.

You know you’ve opened yourself up to a barrage of bullshit from the blinkered?

That was fun to say.
