Yesterday’s Xbox One world premiere was also the announcement of a new Xbox exclusive IP called “Quantum Break”. Developed by Remedy Entertainment and produced by Microsoft Studios, the game promises to integrate gameplay with a scripted television series.
TravisSch stopped by yesterday to tell us that Electronic Arts is discontinuing the use of online passes for future games. EA was one of a few publishers who used these online passes to restrict gamers from accessing the multiplayer if they purchased a used copy of the game.
EA’s John Reseburg admitted to VentureBeat that the online pass initiative wasn’t well received by their customers and are making this change to address their feedback.
Will this move redeem EA in the eyes of gamers picking up second-hand games? Let us know your thoughts in our discussion thread!

As Artyom, burdened by guilt but driven by hope, you hold the key to our survival – the last light in our darkest hour… |
