EA Ditches Online Passes & Nintendo Enforces Copyright on YouTube! - IGN Daily Fix 05.16.13

[psychomaniac]

no, the feature to not use used games is open for developers to use. they can use it if they want.

[girbotg]

hmm thats a tough one chris seems to be the stronger one but leon is smarter. But if i were to pick i would Leon because he has more experience (plus dealing with ashley means he can deal with anything.)

[SiberianGaming]

I'd go with Leon, simply because he had to learn how to get it done on the fly. More experience using his wits to get through things instead of always having all the training and equipment to back him up.

[Bindedwind]

No, I believe YOU might want to check that one.

[ilikecake]

The PS4 will play used games (straight from Sony) and GameStop (a company that makes most of it's money from used game sales) and MS have formed some kind of partnership for the next Xbox so used games are probably going to be fine to use on that platform as well.

[trainer]

Actually they did make a profit, but not as big as other years. And soon the Wii U will start picking up in sales when first-party games come out. Wii U isn't a mistake, it has a lot of potential having a second screen and the variety of things you can do with it.

[TheCalculusBandit]

It's my belief that Chris Redfield would win, he's had more intensive training and can snap Leon like a twig, even with his seeming loss of muscle mass between RE5 and RE6, not that Leon wouldn't give him a run for his money though. But despite how he handles in-game Chris ain't no slug, he can easily keep up with Leon's agility.

[tastietoastbruh]

Yes, they said they're getting rid of the online pass for future games. The current games in stores need online passes.

[frinkls]

The thing is even under the circumstance that no review/commentary is added, the game in itself for it to be put into a LS requires a significant input from the user, making it each play through not only unique but also arguable entirely the user's property to some extent. (Only copyright claim I would consider "clean" would be the use of soundtrack/cinematics...)

[Zeldaschampion]

Good question. I wonder what they are going to replace those passes with. I bet it's going to something even more money consuming.

[modaplays]

Thanks for making me the fix fan of the week!

[PunxsutawneyDave]

I missed the typey-typey. and the yoda impersonation was spot on!

[ClixWizard]

The funny thing about the EA online passes is that they are one of the few business decisions that I didn't mind. They provided free online play to everybody that bought a game new, while also allowing the publisher to get paid for used games. Why don't they get rid of microtransactions and DRM instead?

[melissaday]

The main point is that now LPers will not be getting the ad money, but Nintendo will. LPers are not too happy about this. Some have even said that they will no longer make Let's Play videos of Nintendo games.

[TyroneAllerdyce]

I would say that in a fist fight between Chris Redfield and Leon Kennedy the winner would be Chris, because while Leon has grown to be a competent fighter and hero, Chris has the edge of being the vet of the two, plus he can shatter boulders with a punch.

[BGamer]

Hard question, IGN. Chris Redfield has brute strength, and Leon has agility and speed, more moves.

I'd give this one to Chris. One good punch, and Leon is out cold.

[KBMadhouse]

I don't do LPs solely because of the money, sure it's a nice bonus but it's the same as getting paid for something you love doing.

[lolboxes]

Chris redfield sure Leon can handle his own but Chris has mind and Leon has guns. Chris could out smart Leon and break a few bones in the process.

[Danielsgame]

The launch of the PlayStation 3 was just in Japan on 10 November 2006.. over 80, 000 PS3 systems were sold within 24 hours of its introduction. Look you have no idea, because Nintendo not saying how many Wii u were sold on day 1. And I hate to say (Because I love Nintendo) the Wii U.. it's not doing so well, not many good games are on it yet, hope it do better later in the year.

[ejj]

Thank you EA for finally learning your lesson and paying attention to the fan based feedback. No more online passes, whew.
