It would seem that Ubisoft are set to take a leaf out of EA’s play book by introducing a one time only code to access a games multiplayer and online aspects if brought brand new, where as some one buying the same product a few months later second hand would have to fork out and extra $10 to access the same features due to the previous owner using the code.

Ubisoft:

“We are looking very carefully at what is being done by EA regarding what we call the $10 solution and we will probably follow that line at some time in the future”
Ubisoft and the second hand market
Ok we had a go at EA the other week for instigating this crap and now we are having ago at you Ubisoft, if you want to charge people to play online go make your own console and charge for it, this is totally unacceptable and we here at VGS can only hope that the console manufactures jump in and take control of this before it gets out of hand, for a lot of gamers especially the younger ones out there the second hand market is the only way that they can afford these titles and to charge them a second time to play online is totally out of order.
