While Rage was the first game to lock out single player content, EA has decided to expand the idea after it was discovered Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning comes with an online pass.
The problem is while Rage only locked away access to an extra gate and still restricted access to online multiplayer, KoA: Reckoning is only a single player game and restricts a lot more content.
Destructoid revealed the Online Pass restricts access to 7 quests in the game's storyline and even can lock out review copies of the game. It was also discovered the bonus content for playing the Mass Effect 3 demo is locked out for used copy owners.
Quote:
Destructoid has their hands on a review copy of the game and as you can see there is an online pass locking out the House of Valor faction quest.
That faction quest is composed of seven side missions and won’t be accessible without the pass. Also, in an odd move it looks like the N7 armor you would get from playing the Mass Effect 3 demo is also locked behind the pass.
