DRM is starting to effect the PC market in an even bigger way than ever before. Its only a matter of time before the same kind of thing spills over console games.
So what if a game developer like Epic decides that for Gears of War 2 you only get one free activation of the games multiplayer mode in the box and if you sell the game the next owner has to shell out $10-20 to activate the games multiplayer mode?
It sounds crazy, but whats even crazier is that with the game developers wanting a slice of the used game market pie they could do just that. The big issue is that the possibility just fits right in to the realm of what they might consider acceptable. Sure multiplayer is a big part of games, but its one that you have to go online to use anyway so its not something that would effect your average offline user.
All I can say is danger.
Someone is going to try this.
Tease.
