It seems that other editors are ready to follow the example of EA: Codemasters announced today that
F1 2013 will not have the VIP Pass, online pass system that we asked to activate the code sold with the game or to purchase a new one if we had taken the game used and no pass. The Publisher has also required to state that there will be other similar systems that will force players to make online gaming activations; one less worry for players. Please note that
F1 2013 is expected in stores for 4 October.
