Castrum - Owing up to his promise that RAGE would be free if it got 100,000 Likes on Facebook, John Carmack has announced that the iPhone/iPad version of RAGE will be free for one week:

RAGE's "Online Pass" Doesn't Block Multiplayer

Castrum - So RAGE's pass thing that you get when you buy the game New is not like the typical "Online Pass" incentive devs are tossing out in their games nowadays.

Multiplayer will still be enabled for Used buyers, but if you want the full experience, you have to buy RAGE new. A certain section of the game, termed the "Underground", will be walled-off if you haven't unlocked it with your pass. This area apparently won't involve major story elements.

Personally, though I couldn't care less about RAGE's multiplayer, I like this. I doubt it will deter many Used sales from occurring, but it's nice to see a developer vary this method of douchebaggery.
