Earlier this month, publisher EAmade the decision to stop offering controversial “online passes” with its upcoming games. It’s now getting rid of them for its older games, too.

The first games to see their passes removed will be EA Sports titles, with other games to follow.
While EA continues to claim that it “listened to the feedback from players”, and removed the passes to “allow more people to play and enjoy EA games for a long time to come”, it’s important to note thatat least one upcoming console features similar technology built into the machine, removing the need for EA to administer its own online pass.
