EA & Ubisoft: $10 charge for 2nd hand users if they want online access
These big publishers aren’t getting money from the 2nd hand market, so they want to slug 2nd hand buyers with a $10 fee to access online.
Why should a 2nd hand user be able to use the servers? Because it’s still the same fucking copy of the game. It’s not a pirated copy. Owners have just changed hands. The previous owner can’t use the service anymore. So WTF is the problem?!? Are you banking on us getting bored of your game and leaving it on the shelf? Heaven forbid someone else may get pleasure from playing a game someone else has owned before…
How is this any different from a hardcore user still playing the game in 6 months time, as opposed to someone getting bored with it in 1 month, and handing it over for someone else to use?
Here’s an idea – make good games we actually want to keep. Fuckwits.
Get a life. It’s just a freakin’ game.
Lucky I have no interest in Ubisoft and EA titles.
