Peter Moore, the COO of Electronic Arts has said that the company has not made any attempt to force Sony and Microsoft. To be more elaborate, it did not force the company to pose any restriction in the games of the console of the games of the next generation. EA has not hold for the lobby of the platform holders in order to put any such gating function. This was to disallow or allow the used games. This has been told by Moore to Polygon in the conference in Los Angeles at E3.
The Xbox One of Microsoft has a capacity built in it for the publishers to block the game sold to the users. Sony has also highlighted there are no such restrictions on PlayStation 4. The discs of PS4 have been freely passed to different consoles. Xbox One will let the users at a single time for one person at a single time. It can be chosen from the list of live friends for minimum 30 days. Moore said that he has been on records as being proponents of the used games.
More also appreciated the eco-system and said that he liked it. He added on it, that he liked the fact of keeping the price of the eco-system same, since eight years. He also liked the facility of providing a physical game and provides some of the equity in it. It is a great partner for marketing for Electronic Arts and will also be a GameStop vibrant. EA has limited the proliferation of used games along with the online Pass System. This has been recently scarped by it.
The program also involved the purchase of new games and has also involved the use of a single code. The program has also enabled the contents as well as the online Multiplayer. Player who has purchased the used games is allowed to purchase a pass online. This will give the facility to unlock its functionality. This has changed now and Online Pass is interpreted as a mistake by Peter Moore. The reason stated by hi8m was that online pass is not user friendly.
