I have always thought about getting gamefly. I figure would get maybe get like a 2 or 3 month subscription every year, try out games I never would have, then when the service would run out I would buy the games that liked and wanted to continue playing. But as soon as online passes were introduced that ruined everything. With service like gamefly I would have to pay $10 for any that has a online component or it would be missing some features(ex. Catwoman dlc for Batman AC.). There are also services like Redbox and Blockbuster Express that also allow you to rent videogames that I also have no reason to try now. It seems pretty much inevitable that games will now all have some sort of feature like this whether it be online pass or locked features. So now games that I always wanted to try, I will simply ignore and never play at all thanks to videogame companies trying to get absolute control over the video game market(I'm looking at you MvsC3!!).
So I was wondering, what games were did any of you want to maybe try out but thanks to online passes or locked features never will?

It doubly sucks, because Publishers are in fact getting a cut from rental services. You'd think that they would give large amounts of codes to Gamefly and Blockbuster. But I guess not. Because fuck the consumer.

This is why I've stuck mostly to online purchases as of late. When it's not my bank account making me feel guilty when I get a game in store and Steam has it on sale a week later, it's the developer making me feel guilty for either buying used and not giving them a cut of the profit, or assuming I'm guilty of piracy until proven innocent by making me put in all sorts of codes, and telling me I can only install it a certain number of times.
