Comme une bonne partie des FPS sortis depuis deux ans, Battlefield 3 aura un système empêchant les utilisateurs ayant acheté le jeu d’occasion d’y jouer online. Comme d’hab, ça ne concerne que les joueurs consoles (sur PC, on a déjà les CD-Keys qui font plus ou moins la même chose). Pour jouer, il faudra payer un supplément à EA (probablement 10€). Patrick Bach, de DICE, explique pourquoi :
The whole idea is that we’re paying for servers and if you create a new account there is a big process on how that is being handled in the backend. We would rather have you buy a new game than a used game because buying a used game is only a cost to us; we don’t get a single dime from a used game, but we still need to create server space and everything for you.
We want people to at least pay us something to create this because we’re paying for it. It was actually a loss for us to have new players.
Hopefully people understand why. It’s not to punish people. To us it’s compensation.
Une meilleure solution : jouez sur PC.
