If you've ever borrowed a game or bought one used recently, you may have ran into the problem of realizing the online functioning of the game requires a pass code that came with the game; one the previous owner probably cashed in.
But rejoice, for EA, the first and most prominent to use this tactic, has decide to do away with it's schemes. The reason? Customers don't like it. And pleasing the customer should always come first.
"Initially launched as an effort to package a full menu of online content and services, many players didn't respond to the format. We've listened to the feedback and decided to do away with it moving forward."
"We're discontinuing Online Pass; None of our new EA titles will include that feature."
While some are basking in the light of this miracle, others remain suspicious there's a nasty catch to come.
But rest assured: Your copy of Battlefield 4 with be online pass free.
