Ridiculous. How many people who buy used are going to actually know about this-- I'd bet not many. Most people will probably buy the game and later realize that EA has held back content. This will only upset customers. |
Here's the thing though: used buyers aren't customers. EA only upsets the guys who are screwing over EA. The only outcomes for that are:
- Used buyers start buying games new
- Used buyers boycott "EA"... but they don't buy new games so they're actually just boycotting Gamestop, which benefits EA
- Used buyers are indifferent and continue as is.
It's win-win-neutral for EA and neutral for legit buyers.
