y'all remember online passes in games like farcry 3?  it was especially problematic for xbox users since we had to pay for xbox live, and then paying extra for multiplayer? nah. it was one of the dumbest ideas i'd ever seen and i'm so glad it's dead.

not to mention that it severely stunted its value as a used game since what was the point of buying the game if you couldn't access the whole thing without having to pay more for it?
