Online Passes are becoming quite the hot topic in the world of used games. If you buy a pre-played game that requires an Online Pass, you'll have to shell out the extra cash, but is it worth it? Take a look at the used game market and find out why developers believe that Online Passes are a fair price to pay.

Online Passes are becoming more and more popular for games, and the reason, as usual, is money. Developers are tired of putting all of the effort into making games and making sure that servers keep running while profiting only on the initial sale of the game. Online Passes give purchasers of pre-owned games incentive to pay the developer for their product. Is this unfair to the customer? You be the judge.
