EA makes online pass content free in existing games

Electronic𝔉 Arts is dropp♕ing out of the Online Pass racket, and several of its properties already reflect the decision. Games like 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Battlefield: Bad Company 2, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Dragon Age II, and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Mass Effect 2 have had their pass-gated components priced down to free on Xbox Live (via ), ဣand EA says more are to come.

♏"As we discontinue Online Pass for our new EA titles, 🌳we are also in the process of eliminating it from all our existing EA titles as well," an EA representative told our sister site CVG.

"Players will see it first with some EA Sports titles, where a prompt to enter an Online P𒊎ass code will no longer appear in-game; with other titles we are simply making Oﷺnline Passes available free of charge online."

The rolling updates will take effect over the next several weeks, until the used-game monetizing initiative is no more. At least, no more from EA--how 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft and Sony plan to deal with used games on their respective next-gen console🅠s remains hazy.
