EA's Online Pass or Used Game Premium

[BreakABone]

Actually, you bring up another issue that has been created this generation.

The price collapse model. In which, people see a game, and know they don't need to buy it week one because in 2-3 months it will be dirt cheap, but its dirt cheap because no one bought it early because knew would become cheap.

Of course the problem with that, is much like used games, developers/publishers lose money and they potentially lose the chance to expand their created universe with sequels and the likes.

As for the main point, I agree with you, developers/publishers should be given a cut of the used game market (especially with some of the prices GameStop sales them for), but I don't think putting a premium on it is the best way to go.

We shall see how it goes, since in the case of ME 2 and I believe Dragon Age, is even when you pay this premium you are still paying for DLC on top of that as well.
