To the surprise and delight of many in the gaming world, EA’s senior director of corporate communications John Reseburg spoke with GamesBeat over e-mail and in this discussion the company revealed that EA will no longer be using the controversial Online Pass program.
To be a bit more specific he said that “None of our new EA titles will include that feature.” Rosenburg also mentioned that many of EA’s fans “didn’t respond to the format” which is a significant understatement. It is currently unknown if some other form of restrictive service will be applied to EA’s console games sometime in the future but for now, gamers who rent or buy used copies of EA titles in the future will no longer need to concern themselves with being locked out of multiplayer or single player content.
