Not just EA console games. Their PC games do this too.:p

For a long time the games companies had managed to fool people into thinking limited installs, linking games to your account etc. where things they did to combat piracy. But that's not the case. They're really fighting the used game market.

I think that's sad and borderline illegal. If I buy something, I should be able to decide what I do with it when I'm done, no?

In the Dragon Age and the Mass Effect games you miss out on some characters/DLC/quests if you don't buy it new and redeem the one time code. But then again all those games are by EA.
