Well, now SEGA's joined the fray in stating that if EA's Online Pass system is successful that they might adopt a similar system as well to combat piracy and used games.  This is a huge deal because Online Play is such a major feature in Sega games...oh wait...

EA, THQ, Sega, I think Namco Bandai has said they are are looking at it too. This is why I am glad that early reports show that UFC Undisputed 2010 sales are lower than expected so far. Hopefully enough gamers skip out on these games that the publishers realize how stupid it was and that it will not help business.

In all fairness, THQ's version of the Online Pass is significantly worse than EA's, as there's no Trial period before you have to buy the pass so that screws over renters.

Doing it:
~ EA
~ THQ

Considering it:
~ Activision (specifically, Treyarch)
~ Ubisoft
~ Sega

This generation blows.
