I buy the online pass, even if the game came with one. I support the new video game order, those who do not are peasant scum.
Nope , and i won't every buy one . I ever refused to input the online code for deadspace 2 ( which i bought new for 30$ in june) out of principle . Even if they give me the codes when i buy new , refuse to use them . It might not do much , but i do it out of principle.
I play on PC so used games generally aren't available at all on my platform. I'm not interested in online multiplayer anyway, so even if the multiplayer was locked behind an online pass it wouldn't really effect me, I would still have no reason to get one.
Yeah all the games I buy used are usually so old they were made before the whole "online pass" shenanigans was ever dreamed up. I'm catching up to all the cool PS2 games I missed, Okami, SOTC, Persona 4 etc etc. I'm just cherry picking all the classics in the PS2 library.
I did buy a few PS2 and old DS games on Amazon "new" (only a few years late guys!) I wonder how much of my money the devs would actually see now...
Though I do buy present day games new since i can afford it. Now if you'll excuse me I have an odd feeling to go and try the PC version of KOTOR again. Damn game bugs out during the second planet (AKA when things get good!)

Good point but that is pretty broad. If you're a gamer, it's more than likely you've been scammed by a publisher at some point.Talshere said:
As a ps3 owner, I feel like I've gotten scammed almost every time I've bought a third party game and now that all Sony games have online pass, all first party games too.
Once, for Arkham City. Is that even an Online Pass? I can't tell anymore. I don't even know if people differentiate between Day 1 DLC, Online passes and DRM anymore. They all just SAY they boycott it all the same.
But I voted for "Yes, if I like a game/devs enough I'll buy the online pass even if I bought the game new." because 1) it's true and 2) I honestly have to go out of my way to stumble upon a situation where I have to buy an Online pass/DRM/Day 1 DLC, so...
Life's too short to cry over this shit, IMO. Tell me when something REALLY serious happens and I'll bust out the boombox with my RATM and Muse mixtapes.

Who's crying? I think it's the platform & software developers who are crying because not enough people have bought consoles and games this generation. Is that really our fault? If the console developers had made their machines cheaper and/or more functional, they may have moved more units and thus the software devs would have more people in a position to buy their games.AyreonMaiden said:
However, they expect the remaining gamers to make up the lost revenue.
So what's going to happen when I and a bunch of other current console owners don't ever buy a console when the next gen rolls around (not too far off by the looks of it)? They're going to look for more ways to get more money out of the remaining console gamers.
Nothing REALLY serious isn't ever going to happen. It's just games, not food & heat; nobody is going to get 'revolution' upset. More and more are just going to not bother and find better things to do.
What would you define as REALLY serious anyway AND do you really want to see it get to that point?
No, and I never will either.
Not because I'm against online passes, but because I don't play multiplayer games anymore apart from MMOs - and even then I prefer to just play alone.

Bought a used copy of Dead Space 2 and like the online enough to get a pass.
Only instead of getting one for $10 on the EA store, I got one off Ebay for $1.

No. Don't really own any games that do, and I if I did, I would not purchase it. Massive waste of money, imo.
