EA wants to charge you for 'used' games...

[Arcmanov]

Yeah, so if you want to buy a used EA game, the plan is that you 'pay' EA an additional 10 US...

Yeah, I couldn't believe it either. 

[Crixx_Creww]

Wait i not understanding the concept?

IF you buying a used game from like eb games or something, on top of the price you pay eb... you then have to go and pay ea 10 dollars for a game they already sold to someone?

[Arcmanov]

Yep...I intially thought it was 10 US for the game itself, and I thought 'OK, nice move there', but then I read
the article and realized that in ADDITION to what you paid for the used game (say...20 US), you STILL have
to turn around and pay EA a 10 US.

'BS' doesn't even BEGIN to describe how preposterous this proposal is.  So if a single copy of a game gets 'officially' re-sold 4 times, EA gets and additional 40 US.

...and by 'officially' here I mean through a legit storefront that sells used games, like EB Games.

EA HAVE TO BE MAD!!!

This applies to all games? Like console and pc?
