I believe that if this is a successful model with ES games, I would not be surprised if other game types adopt a code lock on content that ships with the disc.
Imagine Bioshocks fist half of the game being playable for anyone Or Red Dead Redemption is playable up through the attack on Fort Myers, but to move ahead in either game requires a $10 code (which is free with new purchase.)
I do believe this will be a fact in the years ahead, but I do not see it hurting the buyer of used games, I see it influencing Gamestop and people who trade in their games. The consumer will realize that there is a $10-$15 additional cost added into a used game purchase so both trade ins and used games will be less once the market adjusts to the new model.
All that will happen to the packaging is there will be a new block of test that will be preceded by...

BIG DADDY is the Bomby

Quote: He goes on to say that the game should be reviewed for what it is and not how much it costs as they never said a campaign would be included.

Campaign doesn't need to be included, but comparing Shadowrun to just the multiplayer in Rainbow Six Vegas or Graw 2 and it isn't half the game those are. What he is complaing about is just like a car dealer saying a car with no wheels shouldn't be judged for not having wheels, but on it HAVING automatic door locks. At best Shadowrun is a really good Beta that is waiting for the rest of the game to be polished and released.

If you are going to charge $60 for a game and only include 2 discernable game modes and only a handful of maps, you shouldn't cry foul when people notice. You want it to be multiplayer only, include enough maps and play modes that no one notices the campaign is not included. Rainbow Six Vegas has so many multiplayer modes I havn't even tried them all yet. If this was RSV saying it didn't have a campaign, I honestly wouldn't miss it because the miltiplayer is so vast.
I was bored with Shadowrun after one rental because I had played every map and BOTH play modes.
They should have called it Shadowrun: Capture the Flag... at least then it would have been more honest about what we were buying.
