Its just getting pathetic now,If game companies continue to do stuff like this who knows what it will be like in another few years.

Stuff like Limited activations,then your key is invalid (Games for windows live)...and now this,Pathetic.

I already pay $50 a year for Xbox Live AND THE COST OF THE GAME, so I'm paying to play online. I shouldn't have to pay anymore!

I agree with that. But in some situations, I want to pay the developers for their work so they continue. Like with WoW, I'm fine with paying $15 a month for the game, and also don't mind buying an expansion when they're released. And in some situations, I don't mind paying for DLC. Depends on what the content is and if they deserve the money for it.

Well I don't know the whole reasoning behind MW2's multiplayer, because I opted out of it. Though the DRM thing was obviously trying to stop piracy, though it failed, since a crack has already been found.

The developers will have to learn from their mistakes, or hopefully a new company will pop up and offer an awesome game/series, and make itself a better company.

The bigger they are, the harder they fall... EA is going to go under for this, i can feel it... Any game franchises they buy will just get milked... think command and conquer...

Now they are charging $10 to play online with a used game? Screw that. when i sell my games i give away the gfwl account if it has one because i only play the games with a local profile.

Quality games will make cash. Consoles these days are pretty well protected from copying problems that PC's have. This online fee is crap.
