First thing they would start making them, after couple hours, denied? :|

I could see you doing that Alt. :p I'm so glad they're getting rid of them. They never even should have been implemented in the first place.

Good move if the whole industry does it, all we need now is the following.

Cheaper games on release
AA games based on game engines released at a smaller price point along wth being smaller but AA quality. Blood dragon is a good example loads of room for a new IPs to grow.
No more DRM.

This is amazing news! I fucking hate those stupid online passes. It's a pain in the ass to put in all the time. I hated EA so much for this now they got rid of it. Happy as shit.

Good to hear this! Saving money buying preowned games is good, but playing with guys that just screw around in servers is very bad. lol Most of them come from that place. they buy preowned and don't even care about the game. It's a minority but still. At least it look like numbers of them dropped since online passwords were introduced.

THANK YOU THANK GOD!

Fucking hated this.
