Maybe they did a cost-benefit and realized nobody bought the online passes?
I don't think Activision ever online passes did they ? I can't recall anything that they used them in, maybe only those extra missions in Prototype 2.
Why is everyone so god damn gloomy? The Sims 4 doesn't have online only DRM and we're done with online passes. Time to celebrate...
What's the catch?
Now Kill Origin too.
This is the good news , where is the bad news ?
They specifically state that it was because the players didn't respond well to the system...
Sims 4 is going to have a shitton of microtransactions.
did we win
They specifically state that it was because the players didn't respond well to the system...we are responding even more negatively x10 to Always-Online \ No Trade-Ins.
It wouldn't make sense for them to replace it with something worse, but I just can't imagine how they are going to be sticking to the good-old days of cartirdges and PS1 discs.

Discontinues online pass
Employs online-only authentication

*crosses fingers*
I would be fine with Origin if I had the choice to buy EA games from Steam, as well.I have never unterstood why people hate Origin so much. Has worked percetly fine for me. I thought more competition is a good thing?
That is a pretty amazing cover

What does this mean?
They've realised that there is more money in micro transactions than online passes
You can do that, but I honestly don't understand why anyone would rent a game like BF4 or COD. Save your money and buy it. Unless you only play the single player, Battlefield will give you moneys worth.Woah what? WHAT? HURRAY!
Now I can rent BF4 ^_^
Maybe the new boss isn't the same as the old boss.
How is that exactly different from the Sims right now?
This means something.
