Depending on how you feel about the whole Online Pass situation, Ed Boon tries to explain why the idea is very good and helpful for his studio.

Quote:
NetherRealm’s own Ed Boon state that it’s is indeed necessary. "When we sell a game, we need to recuperate the cost of development. These games cost many many millions of dollars to produce. If somebody is re-selling our game and cutting us out of the sharing of the profits of the game, to pay for our games we need to do something to protect our investment."

He doesn't mention anything about DLC being a way studios can recuperate costs but believes his studio deserves a share of every sale of the game regardless if it is new or used. According to his view, his studio deserves the normal share from a new sale copy and then each used sale is seen as another copy and not the same game.
