Welcome to the slippery slope! UFC Undisputed 2010 needs code to play online.

Found at GAF. Lock if old.

So it seems THQ are beating EA (and Ubisoft) to the punch by implementing a one-time use code in UFC: Undisputed 2010, which is set to release May 25th, a couple weeks before the upcoming Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11.

Here's the original source at Destructoid.

Over there an official statement by THQ can be read:

THQ is delivering a truly unmatched online gaming experience for fans of UFC and across all fighting games in general. The main enhancement of UFC Undisputed 2010's premium online content is the new "Fight Camp Mode" in which players can assemble ranks of up to 40 people and train together. This is a significant value-add to the game as players can continually improve their skills by training with their friends and bringing teams of MMA specialists together.

This multiplayer content for UFC Undisputed 2010 will be available via a one-time code included with the game at purchase. Codes for accessing the content will be available for second-time buyers for an additional $5.

Details for acquiring the codes and how this will work will be available via the UFC community site.

At the very least $5 is better than $10. This is so stupid. dvader654

I wouldn't say it's a slippery slope, but it is going to be a problem for the next while. It's just video game companies trying to make some money out of used game sales, and you can sort of see why they're doing it.Sammi_Costello

I could see how this would make people angry, but the problem is that the people this affects in a negative way are the people who wouldn't be giving any money to the people who make the game anyway. The only time they get money is when the game sells a new copy, so locking stuff out to second-hand purchasers can't make them lose money.

Ya i mean heaven forbid you rent a game and have to use the 7 day multiplayer trial... that would just be insane, 5 minutes of work to play multi? unacceptable...

So if, say, my brother wants to play on the same console with his personal account he can't do that? Bravo THQ.Black_Knight_00

If it is treated like other DLC stuff, he would be able to. If it is something else like all of EA's weird account things, you can't.
