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.

It's still douchebaggery of the highest order. About the only time I can get a game is if it's preowned. If you take away the ability to buy things used just to make a few bucks, your an asshole, a dick, a douche, and you increase piracy because people will be less willing to buy it. Ha, RAGE made me full of RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
