it doesnt hurt my situation at all either
so far i only bought EA games brand new
so i dont need to pay $10 for online code

but i can understand why theyre doing it


But if it doesn't hurt your situation, why would you defend them? Between other gamers and suits, I pick the other gamers.

They're doing it to milk the community. Everybody knows this... they aren't using that money to improve the games at all.

Ok, its not that they are "losing" money, its that they are making less than they would be if people werent buying used. So to make up for it, they charge an extra $10 for people who buy used copies. But all in all, you know what? They can charge $80 for the game, slap on an extra $10 for the online pass, and they will STILL sell them like crazy. People are going to buy it regardless of the price, aside from poor people of course.

You might as well stop complaining, cause online passes arent going anywhere. They are going to be implemented by many more companies soon enough. My best advice is maybe go find a job that pays an extra $10 a year so you can afford an online pass.


@bold: 30 years of the gaming industry had to deal with used games. It's still very lucrative despite this. They're abusing the community to make a little more money.

And we wonder why other countries hate America so bad. "Give us everything we want for nothing, or very cheap, or we are going to bitch." " wait why send our jobs overseas!!!""well you wanted cheaper products"

Other countries hate us because we have a global empire.

EA isn't using that money for anything. They already flood the market with low quality games. It'll go to the suits more than the impoverished game artist or coder that you think you're defending.

Our jobs are sent overseas since you can get 5 indians for the price of 1 american.

Please stick to being wrong about the video game industry instead of being wrong about economics and foreign policy.

Which allows for them to make more money on cheaper prices products. Jeesh you are dumb.

You can argue all you want, in the end, you will either buy the online passes and play, or you will sit back and bitch like you are doing now. Let me assure you, none of us here care if you come play.

Plus have you even been out of the country and talked to people who arent from here? People hate us because we are arrogant assholes who think we need to control everything, plus the stereo typical American attitude. :P

defend them because its understandable what theyre doing from a business perspective
whether consumers buy it used and have to buy $10 code is the consumers choice

who cares if they arent using that money to improve the games

you arent paying $60 for them to make better games
you arent paying $10 for them to make better games or improve games

you are paying $60 for the product they made
you are paying $10 for the online code that comes with new games since you bought a used one

Cheaper products are to get customers. Outsourcing is to save money. One doesn't lead to the other...

In the end, EA will shove their cock in your face and you'll happily service them. Let me assure you, they aren't going to send you a check for being loyal. They'll continue to do whatever they can to take more of your money.

People hate us because of the global empire. Most people in 3rd world countries don't know anything about "online passes" or EA. If we didn't enter into their affairs nobody would care how we acted.

Uhh... I care... and a lot of other people who complain about them putting out glitchy poor quality games and matchmaking servers.

I know it's their money. I know why they're doing it. Quit repeating it.

Bold is exactly the problem and why I'm angry with them. If they're going to take more money they should be putting out a better, current product.

What if XBL made the service $100 a month and I came in saying exactly what you said?

You cant argue with axshen, ive dealt with him before. He bitches and moans, and even when wrong, still fights for his side. He is just an annoying child running around trying to stir up shit.

Must be hard to type with EA's cock in your hands. (you can stop the insults any time)

How am I wrong? Everything I said was true. If I said something untrue then quote and bold it.

Funny that this "annoying child" knows how the world works better than you ever will. The world hates us because we want to buy video games used? ROFL

e/ nvm military idiot who was brainwashed into joining by commercials of people climbing mountains.

why should they be putting out a better product
youre paying them for one of their items
you arent paying for them to make it better for you
if you want them to better a product then fund their project

and if xbl made the service $100 then dont buy it
you arent obligated to buy it
its your choice to pay them
and its their choice to do what they want with money

no one is obligated to do anything for the other
