eh, you're OP was long and presumely filled of stupid comments about how you deserve to get more for less..

it costs money for these companies to maintain the online infrastructure you want to use.  so using services without paying is generally what i call bullocks.  go online pass go!!

If that was so then PC gaming online would've implemented such fee's a century ago. If you haven't read my OP, I encourage you to do so as it is just a scam to get into our(used game buyers in particular) pockets (used game buyers matter us much new game buyers) and surprise surprise its' EA and Activision.. some of the developers that are struggling the most that ask for an online pass. Please read it and think about it.

no, i don't think i'll be reading your OP...that's your fault for writing a wall of text.

and to be quite honest, used game buyers don't matter.  not to the developers anyways.  if the amount of dollars you give the developers is a big fat zero what do they stand to lose from pissing you off??  are you going to stop playing video games?  oh noes, they will face absolutely no reprocussions....whatever will they do with themselves?!?

It wasn't something I can explain in a few words.

Used game buyers matter more then new game buyers in a way actually... read my original post please. But to give you a preview (sigh)..

Used game buyers buy games that new game buyers dont like thus making a negative into a positive. The negative was done when the new game buyer didn't like the new game he/she bought and well put it into the used game market by selling it or traded it in.... and the used game buyer comes along and buys and lets assume keeps it thus giving redemption to the developer of the game from the developers FAILURE to satisfy another gamer who was a new game buyer. See? It gives us more power/influence on the industry and it gives developers a second chance to satisfy us as consumers... whether your a new game buyer or used.... I'm both... like most people here probably are.



All gaming systems, consoles/PC, have thier perks... why fight over preferences? I like Coke and you like Pepsi, that's it, let's not fight over which toy we like best cause that's what they are. Is someone's preference in a toy important or is the relationship between you and your neighbor more important? Answer is obvious, but THE most important thing is your relationship with God almighty. God Bless you in Jesus's name.

I can communicate without talking... I can send a loved one money without actually sending money... and I can commit theft without the product disappearing, the point of theft is the point of theft not one of it's possible symptoms which is the product dissappearing. The thief wants to gain something without paying for it, that's the point of theft, the thief doesn't have to care or anybody else has to care if the product dissappears. The product dissappearing is just a possible symptom of theft. Gifts are sacrfices, in order to give a gift, it has to be a genuine sacrfice/gift, meaning a copy of the game isn't still in your PC. Piracy is theft and/or being a culprit of theft.
