That last title, Spare Parts, is just over a year old. EA, again, claims this will effect just 1% of "peak online players across all EA titles" but if you paid for the game and are still playing it do you really care how many or how few people are being affected? Didn’t you buy the game in hopes that it would have a long life? Isn’t that the whole point behind EA’s Online Pass, to extend the lifetime of some games? That MMA title, is an online pass title just two years old, I guess it didn’t do so much to lengthen its lifecycle.
