Looks like they caved and are turning off the always-online bit and the trade-bit.

I'll admit, I wasn't really bothered by them. The online thing was potentially troubling (just in case of prolonged internet outage, but that happens very infrequently). As for the trade thing, I don't really have any IRL friends who are gamers who I'd trade with anyway. Plus, quite frankly I loathe the "used game market." Price it only $5 cheaper while screwing the person on the repurchase (I've resold _one_ game ever, bought it for $60, resold it 3 days later for $20). Plus, the developers don't see a dime from that second purchase, so I was thinking the trade restrictions would actually benefit them (well, trade-in, not necessarily trade-between-friends).

what in the ...


Thats like "I Sold my chevette yesterday so I Sent 80% of the money I got back to GM."


It isn't like you decompiled their code, made something new and resold it... you are selling your disc, with their PRODUCT on it that you PAID for
you OWN it, I am seriously getting tired of this licensing and ownership crap.
