Driver: San Francisco online pass now free

So no online pass eh? Ok I'll definatly consider looking at this then.

Online passes are a frigging joke, an insult and injury to gamers! Get rid of all of them...? They are the work of the devil, THE DEVIL I tell thee!

It's always nice to see incompetence defeat hubris.

lol. Ubisoft got lucky with this mistake. Their DRM and no resell policies have me avoiding their games like the plague.

And then once that's over it'll be back at it's original price, game companies can't pass up more money.

so basically Ubi cant even attempt to nickle n dime us to death properly. Not that its a bad thing for us though.

Ha we screwed up... FAIL!

lol, Driving while impaired. :P

karma?

good to see that they removed it shouldent be there in the first place anyway but i already lost my faith in ubisoft a long time ago when those aggresive dmr's started i love assasins creed but apart from that one i refuse to buy any new games or follow ups in other series when they come from ubisoft

@koospetoors Unfortunately, it is...

Wait, the PC version is being released later? I hope this isn't one of Ubisofts stupid anti-piracy tricks again and that they're actually busy fine-tuning the game for the PC.

Despite the fact that they turned Tanner into a genie, Jericho into a psychopath and that other dude into Kanye West, I will buy this when the price drops. The cliffhanger in Driver 3 was just too annoying lol.

Another step in the right direction, but it is STILL something that shouldn't have been there in the first place. Now just get rid of the PC DRM completely and your customer treatment will be back up to the standard everyone else has. I wish these printing errors happened more often...

Good news for me because I just rented it and I didn't get the pass, now I don't have to pay 15 dollars nice = )

shifting make this game su**

why does ubisoft even try? every time they try to implement an always on drm, there are always problems and end up getting rid of the drm, now it seems like the same thing is happening to their online passes

Online never needs the online pass in the first place.

Good, but im still not buying it used since they tried that $$$ tactic...

Yes we get somthing that we paid for er... for free..... What?

Ubisoft sucks

simply amazing ^^~ love driver ?

@Frame_Dragger Hey, someone has to complain for all us gamers :). I'm not picking on Ubisoft I'm sending a message to all game companies that require a "code" to access the full game which we paid for. I will return the game and demand my money back from the store I purchased it from. Let the store deal with the company and maybe they will put an end to this code nonsense. Imagine buying anything that requires you to inout a "code" for it to work and then the code doesn't.. You have every right to return it since it doesn't work. Trust me, the store doesn't want the headache of dealing with all the returns and the companies don't want to have to refund the money the stores shelled out for their products..

Too late, i already returned the game to best buy and informed them that the game is broken due to a faulty password that will not let me access the full game which I paid for.. This is why this code nonsense is not a good idea for us gamers..

Ubisoft is actually doing a good move for the consumers. I'm shocked. 0_0

I not getting this game till Xmas. Right now are going to get DEAD ISLAND! :D

That will make the 3 people who purchased this game happy.

haha tough luck ubi

@Henrique2324 I highly doubt that....

Another instance of a DRM accident preventing players out of their legitimately purchased games. No sympathy from me, Ubisoft. An error printing key-codes is as criminal a mistake as having authentication software that sometimes bars users from use even when using a correct passkey, or kicks you from the game if only a single data packet is missed in the always-on DRM.

@jennysalala - I think what it actually shows is common sense. It would have been massively expensive, time-intensive, and inconvenient to their customers to try and fix this in any other way than to make it free to everyone. It was an easy decision for them to just make it free because they didn't really have any other practical choice.

The only mistake Ubi made in my opinion is to make the code a 'scratch off code'. I know from experience this can lead to heartache......

It has multiplayer as standard. The online pass just allowed you to lock 11 extra modes. Its pretty much in line with that everyone else inc Sony are doing so don't see any reason to give Ubisoft a hard time.

it's just karma, i suppose.

Sounds fishy. Someone must've screwed up their printer to kill this stupid ass DRM.

"Ubisoft today announced that it will do away with the codes for the game entirely and allow all players to unlock the extra content for free." -------------- Multiplayer on the bloody disk is now extra content? Pathetic.

Driver SF has the most fun online modes of ANY game I have played this year so this can only be good news. The most pleasant surprise of the gaming year.....

OK, but they also probably don't have that much confidence in the game.

Free online passes?Unless you buy the game new, you don't see that a lot.

Just goes to show how much of a cash grab online passes actually are... they didn't even try to push these online passes after this "mistake", they just decided "oh well, let's make it free... we would've only made a few million off it anyway".

yeah I'm sure thats it @Frame_Dragger

well that backfired....pun intended.
