EA asking money for... cheats

Posted on Monday, 16 October 2006 by Ryuken, source: 1Up
Well, I guess someone had to do it but it's no surprise that it is EA who is starting to ask money for enabling cheat codes in its games.

The game in question is Tiger Woods PGA 2007 on Xbox360. EA is offering quick unlocks of certain cheats for a "reasonable" price (aka Live points):

- Unlock Golfer - 200 points
- Pro Shop - 300 points
- Maxed out Player - 200 points
- Sunday Tiger - 240 points
- Unlock Courses - 200 points

You can still unlock these things yourself if you're not too lazy but that doesn't make much more comfortable. If companies even start to charge for cheats then what else can they ask money for? Before you know it, we'll need real money to buy in-game stuff, and not only in obscure Korean mmorpg's but in normal (singleplayer) games too.

They've always had those premium rate hotlines, so I don't really see how this is much different.
