I checked my EA PC account and they keep a hickory of every game you have with them console and PC, lol it all bull to stop used games.
"The whole idea is that we're paying for servers,"
The whole idea is that I'm paying for rent, electricity, internet, a PS3, a NEW $60 disc, some bullshit DLC and map packs, and the chair I'm sitting in while playing.
"We would rather have you buy a new game than a used game because buying a used game is only a cost to us; we don't get a single dime from a used game, but we still need to create server space and everything for you."
I would rather have you stop fucking me for nickels and dimes and look at exactly why I have to resort to buying a used game, because buying a new game is only an added cost to me. And now you added the cost to the used games too.

Between this and pulling the game from Steam, Battlefield 3 went from a sure purchase to a "wait for the bargain bin" title.
How does a used copy of a console game require any additional server space? Only one person can play a copy at a time. *Somebody* bought the game new before it wound up in a Gamestop, so the server space for any used copies is paid for already.
If you want the full feature set of the product on day 1, you are paying full price. If you don't want to pay full price, then sit your ass down and get to waiting for the inevitable price drop. I'm all for stamping out used sales by the likes of Gamestop. Those sales are in no way invigorating the industry. I'm still cool with the used system here though. Peer to peer is fine. Although, I am still fine with the fact that if you buy a used product (and give the developer zero funds to reinvest in further productions) you shouldn't necessarily be entitled to an identical experience that I receive by purchasing the title new. Put on your big-boy pants and pony up the cash, or wait. Or pay for your online pass. Wah.
The math doesn't add up. In order to have a used game there must have been a new game. If server space was created for that new game, and the person who sold it can no longer access that server space, how is someone else USING THE SAME DISC taking up MORE space? 1+1-1 !=3.
I just want to bring up the fact that activision has stated that they would charge for online access if they knew they could get away with it. That is all.
I would love that they come clean and say: WE JUST WANT MORE FUCKING MONEY.
Because the excuses they made up are fucking pathetic.

Besides, server space... SERVER FUCKING SPACE IS THE PROBLEM?!?!?! A few fucking kb per user, when a 2terabyte hard drive disk is 180usd at retail.
So the problem is DISK SPACE, like if we still live in the nineties. Since if a sell the game and someone else buys it I wont be playing multiplayer anymore, is not like you have two simultaneous users from a single copie.
What a fucking pile of horseshit...

I can build you a system to play Battlefield III, Crysis, Diablo III or any other game.

The more of I see of these online passes, single saves, and other silly DRM schemes; the more I just want to go back to pen and paper/board game entertainment.
It's just getting damn expensive over here in digital.

I'm just curious as to why none of you want to support your developers. That's why they started implementing these online passes in the first place, but that reason wasn't good enough for most of the people who think everything needs to be given to them. So now they need to come up with new reasons until one of them is accepted. Bottom line is that games aren't free to make. There is a business side to the world of gaming and everyone needs to deal with it. People who worked on the game need to get paid just like the rest of you. Servers do cost money to maintain. And if there isn't a profit, there isn't money to go into developing the next game they want to work on. That $10 (which is far less than the $45 Black ops has taken for their map packs) is at least contributing to help maintain the current game and future games. If you cant afford new games i'm sorry that your situation is not a favorable one. But if u can save to $45 or $50 for a used game, you can wait one or two more checks to make the difference and get a new game or give them the $10 dollars.
