EA has made $10 - $15 million off Online Pass
Attachment 2337
You may know EA as simply a company that creates and publishes games, but we're pretty sure the company is fullof wizards.

How else can you explain conjuring up between $10 and $15 million dollars? That's what the
Online Pass has helped the company do, CFO Eric Brown revealed (via
Gamasutra).
"The revenues we derive from that haven't been dramatic. I'd say they're in the $10-$15 million range since we initiated the program," he said. First introduced last year for
EA Sports titles, the Online Pass quickly spread to a majority of EA's games. Now, plenty of other third-party publishers utilize the same code system.
It was introduced to combat lost revenue from used game sales and, we'd say, a wild success, if not just straight-up magic.

I do not like to do this many games get them second hand, and this is becoming more difficult for me to enjoy new games as well that not all worth buying this pass, but still do not understand why they do apart from being greedy but maybe if I would give a reasonable explanation to me easier to assimilate the idea that we simply give us more money!
