is yet another game added to the list that will require a Game Pass to play online. In this instance, where I will buying the game at release, it will not effect me. It still leaves a horrible taste in my mouth. It feels like the video game companies are just adding a new way to rape gamers in the mouth. Hence the bad taste. They say they need to do this to cover the costs of servers and such. I hear this and I can't help but laugh. Really? I am playing a little game called Gears of War 3. It has servers, is incredibly popular, and does not require a pass to play online. What costs are you actually worrying about? I mean, someone buys the game used, that spot that was taken is refilled not added to. If you really want to curb used game purchases the entire industry needs to drop the new game prices by at least $10. You want to compete with the Gamestops or equivalent in the world? Start your own chain of video game stores. Then it's all profit on top of profit for your company. People will buy your game new, then trade/sell back to you, and you sell it to someone else. Simple enough. Hell, you don't even need physical stores, you can work out a system where the games are sent by mail and you give credits or vouchers for games that can be used towards other games from that publisher. There are many ways this could be solved without charging used game buyers to play online. I mean with all the useless DLC we buy nowadays, we don't have the money to pay to play. If I want that experience again I will start WoW back up.
