I think that if you don't pay for the game new you shouldn't have access to the servers that the publishers pay of their own money to mantain, it just isn't fair that people that don't represent a benefit for the publisher can leech of them by using the servers that cost money. I also believe that if incentives are provided to people to buy the game new, they shouldn't complain if they have to pay to get those free items that you can get for free when you buy the game new.
Also people will say games are too expensive and then turn around and buy a used game for 55 dollars at gamestop. That's just stupid when you can usually get the same game new for that same price at amazon and with free shipping, and you also get game credit. Also at amazon you can get new games for as low as 15 bucks and games that are mostly a year old for 19.99 with free shipping. Stop complaining, you can buy/preorder the new games and avoid paying full price for the game plus get cool incentives while you are at it open your eyes and reach for the light.
