Sure it is... because we have them right where we want them. We the gamers can sell our new games that sucked which we pre-ordered or bought at launch at 60$ and it will be in the used game market. Like explained quite well in my OP... it is a fail on the developers part if a game is in the used game market this early in its launch... but no worries the used game market is there to save the day... a used game buy ... buys it, loves it and keeps it. Order has been restored.... the 60$ the new game buyer spent and went into the developers pockets is now well deserved. If the online pass happens... then that that same game that didn't please he new game buyer will be 65$, get it? So in a way... we are rewardng the developers for failing to please us. Get it?

MY BEAUTIFUL EYES ;_; To be honest, that's really damn long and I have a shitload of stuff to study this week, so I'll just say that an Online Pass ain't that expensive and you should consider ('cause you most likely didn't) that used games will devaluate alot more thus having to pay just a little bit more for the bundle (Game Online Pass) - More profit for the Developers, less money for the retaillers who sell used games at ridiculous prices. Plus when you lend a game to a friend, you have to consider that your friend isn't contributing in anything for the company, even tho he's enjoying their work for free. And it's not like you won't be able to enjoy the game: you'll still be able to play everything the game has to offer, offline. If you don't feel like it's worthy of spending 10€ or so to get the Online, then don't. No one is forcing you. Yes, I do understand most people's point of view, because us, the gamers, do get bs'd by huge companies. But if you want to boycott anything, you should start with DLCs that are being sold on the first week the game was released... or 5 recycled maps for 15€. Those are the true rip offs, not an attempt of increasing the games sales or at least make a bit of profit on the sales of used games/ borrowed games. Case I completely missed your point, I might have 'cause once again, I didn't read so I'm just supposing what you said as an agry game towards EA and so on, I'll read the whole thing and make a completely new reply.

I'm very sorry about my post being too long but I had a lot of nice points and could'nt leave them out. I encourage you to read my OP because it destroys your reply to me.
Please read it when you have the time.
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.
