With Sony announcing that online play will be restricted to users with a 'PSN Pass,' and the internet in an uproar as a result, I thought it'd be worth taking a look at why companies like EA and THQ are moving in this direction.
It's a known fact that Developers and Publishers make no money on pre-owned or rental sales. Yes, they've made their money on the original purchase, but is it fair that retailers can sell a second-hand copy (often similarly priced as a new one), and they don't see a cent of it? I'm not convinced.
