So what if you buy the game new and have multiple gamers in your household? Every other gamer in the house will need to pay for an online pass, making the cost of the game higher.

What EA and THQ should do is to reward new game buyers random DLC codes as a thank you letter for supporting the title.

I don't even play online multiplayer so I'll just buy the games with online passes used anyway, not with an intent of saving money but with an intent to give the publishers the big middle finger.

And to think people complain about the filthy hackers and pirates! Well i hope this game gets raped... Sorry but i hate crap like this! So poor people aren't allowed the full experience then? Lol... People stand up for the poor old devs, but in reality these devs only care about getting your money! Well they won't be seeing mine ;-) lol.

This is irrelevant to me.

God forbid a publisher try to make a bit of money on used game sales.

Having two ps3, one upstairs and one downstairs these online passes will never work for me

Oh dear, I'm passing on this game now. Next time drop the nazi style passes and I might just buy your game.

-1 sale you dumb bastards.

I've been eagerly anticipating Homefront and I plan on buying it on (or very close to) it's release date so I'll still wind up getting the pass for free, but IMO this is a seriously bulls*#t trend in the gaming industry.

To be honest it is bullshit that they try to stop the used game trade... people have been buying second hand cars and dvds ect for years.

People have the right to buy something and then sell it on... its just part of commerce. The devs should just see it as the people that will DEFINATELY buy the game will buy it new anyway... and the people who picked it up used are obviously the MAYBE'S, so in fact the used game trade allows more people to experience their game and makes it more likely that they will enjoy it and in future buy sequels new.

Alot of games are not worth the full price, and picking them up used is the only way some people will get to experience them. So if the devs are not careful they could end up missing out on getting certain groups of fans to their games.

It's kind of a dumb move really seeing as this is a brand new franchise that is totally untested and was trying to draw FPS fans away from the many other already established games.....

COD and BF:BC can get away with it because they have their fanbase already there. But a game that was likely to struggle somewhat anyway, to do this is just bad business as it just alienates some people, and makes others doubt how much longevity multiplayer will have.

Maybe gamers should start just not bothering with any games that pull this shit... that way you can be assured it won't last long!

Is this for the 360 too???

"Battle Code" - that sounds a lot more appealing than "Bend Over and Take it Code."

Theres also the view from the person who buys the game and then wants to sell it on!, they wont get as much for it!. its like the Homefront Devs are scared people will think the game sucks and sell it on quickly! doesnt give me alot of confidence on the game!. Personally ive decided not to buy another shooter unless its made for the PC, not some multiplatform BS. Im happy playing AC Brotherhood online anyways! as a PC FPS gamer, the genre has gone down the crapper imo!
