Sounds like some seriously, Seriously, Crappy business practices from EA. Then again...that's not new. It's like they're saying "Oh would you like to buy this Used game? Here, please bend over while I insert this Sandpaper up your @^%!!! Thank you for your purchase!!!"...

Besides, they have the legal right to limit access to their multiplayer servers by any criteria they want.

I think you are just covering for them. If they don't want everyone on their servers, stop forcing everyone to use their servers. It's that simple. You don't get to claim its too expensive and not fair to offer these services when you force your games to use them when it is not necessary. They can offload all they want by offering dedicated servers, third party matchmaking services or directip. Otherwise, it's just lame excuses.

No he is right, they have the legal abilty to do what they are doing. None thought they would though. But its like darwin said, except for those who rent games, this only effects those people who want to spend  $5 less on a used game instead of a new one

O and sorry for the double post.

But won't this also lead to piracy such as getting the codes offling like how some people get serial keys or will it not work. I think it would be hard to run checks for everygame for console.

I never said he was wrong. Legally alot of people and a lot of businesses can do a lot of things; that doesn't mean they should.
