Please copy that, Sony.
They won't need it since they'll likely be able to force you to enter a CD key with every new game you buy.
Don't belive it, untill I see it!

So it's finally time to make a Good Guy EA meme?
Can't sell a lot of DLC to people who don't play your game online.

Nailed it.
Pretty much confirms IMO Durango and PS4 will require online authentication
and most likely online DRM.
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...
Its EA. And next-gen is right around the door.
Well... They won't need it anymore if the rumors of Xbox Infinity blocking used games is true... And Sony is leaving this stuff up to the Publisher so... Yeah Online Pass aren't needed anymore, and they may be replaced with something worse.
probably something else is coming up.
Excellent.
Hopefully not next week...
Twist, used game won't exist anymore and that's why EA is killing the Online Pass program.

Confirms Durango most likely. And perhaps a plan to squeeze Sony until they allow it as well by treating Microsoft more favorably. Better than going no-used-games completely. Maybe also partly why they're not interested in Nintendo at all.
Whats with the Gates image?
No online passes needed due to used game blocking instead?
I think online authentication mean no used-games allow.
To be replaced with micro-transaction and always-online requirement.
There has to be a catch, right? Right?
