I'm curious, what's stopping you from buying a code from someone who bought it new and didn't care for the online play? Had you purchased the game used, they'd be receiving none of the money, thus circumventing it (sort of).
Alternatively, buying the game new and selling the code. $60 game just became $52, and whoever buys it from you gets $2 off (assuming the code is $10 new) than if they purchased it from them.
@yabhero Except for the fact that the PSP never released a dual-analog attachment. Nintendo has already segmented their userbase by releasing an attachment, so a dual-analog redesign would work perfectly in the design they've already ruined.
@doreo Reminds me of all those comments I kept seeing for Peace Walker; "why isn't this on the PS3 instead? Booo PSP stinks. Graphics Graphics.". Why you gotta be like that?
@Mechazawa Prime Considering that most conversations are a choice of two options which result in the same answer from Shepard regardless of what you'd pick, I'd complain about auto conversations.
@Milf Biggenson Well it's not like they need to drop the price to get people to buy it. Think of it this way: You can buy a brand new Nintendo game without having to worry about it dropping in price a month later.

They'd never have done this back in the old days.
