Saints Row: The Third to require online pass for co-op.

[MrGalactus]

THQ just joined Activision and EA on the "don't buy from" list.

 

[Daystar Clarion]

Oh no, I have to pay the developers money to get access to all their product.

Whatever shall I do.

Woe is me.

*insert more sarcasm here*

 

[TheRussian]

Eh, I got it on Steam so it doesn't really matter for me.

[EDIT] oh yea, I forgot that even Steam has activation codes

 

[Th37thTrump3t]

Thanks for your code. (Trollface)

OT: Eh, used to this kind of shit now.

PS: Might want to revise that pic to blur out the code.

 

[SidingWithTheEnemy]

Is your code there: M6D23-GYK9-8GFMC-6GV4V-4MMJ2?
You sure you wanted to share that?
Because I wouldn't want to share my codes (even if used) in the internet openly.

Okay, sarcasm aside - does this mean SaintsRow 3 is perma-online even in Single Player?

 

[MrGalactus]

Oh no, I have to pay the developers money to get access to all their product.

Woe is me.

Hey, if you want to promote anti-consumer policies, go for it.

It's not my code, it's a picture I found on Saints Row forums. Probably belongs to a game journalist or something.

I have no idea if it's perma-online, but I wouldn't be too surprised.

 

[distortedreality]

I'm a PC gamer who buys all his games new - doesn't effect me in the slightest.

 

[king_katchit]

THQ you used to be cool, remember when we used to play Warhammer together? Now all you want to do is hang with the popular kids, do drugs and and sleep with porn stars.

For Shame.

(Also, is that note written on toilet paper?)

How is it anti-consumer exactly?

I will buy the game new. Therefore I get the code, and the devs get my money.

Gamers today are self entitled.

 

[Kenbo Slice]

Random derogatory comment about how online passes are destroying the industry.

 

[Mrsoupcup]

I plan to buy it first day anyway, so this doesn't change anything.

 

[CM156_v1legacy]

Well, I'm voting with my wallet on this one.

Then again, I wasn't going to buy this game in the first place, so that doesn't mean much.

 

[Furioso]

Oh no, I have to pay the developers money to get access to all their product.

Whatever shall I do.

Woe is me.

Right, but then in the future a guy sees this game selling used cheap and goes "Oh I heard this was good I'll get it!" and then he is smacked in the face with a hidden fee once he does get it

Oh so I'm not entitled to multiplayer on a game I've bought? Buying it used is a punishable offence, is it?

 

[CommanderL]

*insert more sarcasm here*

i am with this guy either buy it brand new or suck it up gamers need to stop being so self entitled.

 

[Kevlar Eater]

Rarity says it better than I could:

Spoiler

As an aside, this isn't gonna affect me, as I'm gonna get this game on the PC.

Only if he wants to play online coop, and then it isn't going to cost him anymore money than buying the game new.

 

[Something Amyss]

Well, looks like that's the last I buy from them. But I could have told you they were doing this with some games last year.

Gamers today are self entitled.

Yeah, how dare gamers want the right to a second-hand market? It's not like it has a right to exist....

OH WAIT, IT TOTALLY DOES.

Maybe you should look up "entitled," because the way you're using it, it applies more to the companies who are arguing they should get bonus money for used titles. They're not entitled to that. Sorry.

Gamers also need to use punctuation and spell-check. HEYOO!

OT: Ah yes. The used game debate. We meet again

I don't agree that charging extra for coop on second hand copies is the best idea, but I also don't agree that devs should get no money for their games.
