somebody needs to sit him down and ask him this in these exact words.
"Let's say EA puts a code in the box of a game and users have to go online just once and put in that code to activate their game and past that point they never have to go online again. without that code the game in its entirety is unplayable which means if a user gives, lends, or sells the game disc the next user would need a code from EA to activate the game. would Sony block EA from doing that on Playstation 4?"
even if their clarification they're dodging that issue. we're not asking about online passes we're asking about a publisher implementing their own used game blocking DRM through a system they create themselves. they keep asking this question and posting articles about it and when asked about apples Sony is giving an answer about oranges.
online passes are an entirely different animal than publisher build custom DRM.
people aren't forward thinking enough to realize that that's all it takes. if somebody were to do it they'd pick a Call of Duty, an Assassin's Creed, a Madden, or a Battlefield. they'd pick a game that's guaranteed to sell millions because they know people will buy it anyway. after the flood gates open it'll trickle down to lesser titles until its industry wide accepted practice.
WinB wtf is wrong with you man?
