John: I am setting up an account. I just purchased STO from Gamestop. It comes with 30 days free. I can't seem to finish setting up my account without entering a game card key. I have 30 days, I do not need more than that.

Simon E: When you associate a retail product with an account, it is required that you also purchase a subscription. You will not be charged for the subscription until the free 30-days of game time have expired. If you wish to cancel the subscription during the free 30-days of game time, you can do so. Is there anything else I might be able to assist you with?

John: I'm not paying for something that is going to be free in January. 30 days from now will almost be enough time. As stupid as your idea is, surprisingly I will wait until STO is free.

Play it, then play the first one. Which I have to finish again. But at least I finished Human Revolution, has to do the completely non-lethal playthrough.

I already played the original Deus Ex years ago on the PS2. I doubt I'd ever replay it, but it was a fantastic game.

A year from now, both of those titles will probably be selling used in the $25-$35 range. But while they aren't making any money off them, the online servers still have to be maintained.

Not all of those companies handle the servers themselves, though. Activision owns the subsidiary Demonware (although I'm not sure if they bought them out or if they created them). They then have Demonware continue to maintain those servers. With games like Guitar Hero, micro transactions of songs and whatnot would help fund the costs, but when people aren't buying anything online, you still have to contribute something. It's times like those when I understand the online pass system.

The money doesn't go straight into the developer's back pocket. It goes to maintaining the service.

I originally used the term "outsourcing" in this post, then removed it because I didn't think it was right. Further digging (ie., more than 3 seconds on Google) tells me that the term really is correct. Activision purchased Demonware to handle their servers about four years ago, in an effort to reduce development costs and server maintenance costs.

I'm pretty sure Sony is including it in all their games.

At least with PC games (non-mmo), online play is usually free of fees or annoying passes.

Yeah I heard they're going to be putting it in all their games in the future. No idea if Uncharted 3 is one of them though...

I have no clue. Even if I did have a copy and I could connect with my PS3, I wouldn't be playing online.

I'm convinced the 360 version of Brutal Legend is harder than the PS3 version.

On the PS3, I finished the game without too many annoying trouble spots, and without going out of my way to get special moves or upgrades. On the 360, Ophelia keeps kicking my ass at The Sea of Black Tears. I guess I'll have to back out of the mission and go visit the Motor Forge. -_-
