THQ Drops the Ball With UFC Unlimited Multiplayer Codes

[Antiparticle]

Wait wait wait. You need to pay to use the game's multiplayer mode? Wtf? That's just wrong.

EA Sports announced that online multiplayer will only be available with a code packed in new games. Used game buyers would have to spend $10 for that code. Other than being more expensive, how is this different from what THQ is doing?

Already explained. Maybe I wasn't being specific enough, but I consider EA/Project Ten Dollar separate and distinct from EA Sports/Online Pass. Will PJT end up going the Online Pass route, ie., fucking it up? Maybe. But what we've seen so far has been entirely different and much more appealing. (And more successful too, I think.)

OK, I understand you now.
