OK The game industry is now getting GREEDY. First Dragon Age, now EA Sports. Well I know the titles I won't be purchasing.
But being popular titles I see this is going to be a change because people will buy it so they can play it. Then others will see how well they are selling and think it will be OK to charge for ALL used games. Before you know it, it will become the "norm"
This is just what I would want if I was EA, to be looked at the same as gamestop. I hate gamestop because they are a rip off, and EA because they are a rip off. Maybe EA should just try to buy gamestop, and quit charging 10bucks for online play? Also since I will no longer buy any EA games looks like you are losing $60 instead of making ten.
What will happen if you rent the game? It's already registered so will you have to pay 10$ extra just to play it? (Like an Xbox game using Live)
That's just ridiculous on EA's part.
Maybe EA can just require us to give them our credit cards so they can charge us whenever they feel they deserve some more money without actually doing anything? Sound fair to me.
Forgot to mention...
This means also...$10 by renting games...
Hmmm....Calling to SKIDROW, RELOADED, RAZOR1911, and many others...please be more productive..
I will officially stop buying legal products if stupid thing like this continues.
I will need you guys desperately in the future.
Just be happy you CAN buy used games, some software out there cannot be used by anyone other than the original owner legally

Most of my games are online, thus requiring a key. Nobody will buy a game with a key that's already been used. Not to mention, I lose the friggin' keys all the time, so Steam removes that worry.
