Cliff being a douchebag aside, I wonder how many devs think the same way? Or even more importantly how many publishers think the same way...

Or rather how many publishers would wanna risk being shot in the face by the backlash happening to MS right now.

I have the feeling that they won't get the flamebait. If EA comes out with "offline passes" or something like that, MS will be the target, people will say "This is MS fault for supporting DRM and blah blah", and while EA will get some hate, I can warranty it will not be as bad as MS.

Besides, if EA comes with some sort of DRM for their games across all consoles that would mean that in order for you to play the next Mass Effect, you would have to suck it up and do whatever EA wants you to do. A brand name is much more powerful than DRM, companies know this and they will take advantage of it.

Just my theory.
