Publisher Electronic Arts has announced that it is possible that a new game delivered online pass is expired. According to the publisher, it would be hardly to prevent it, but EA does not deny that it occasionally happens.
The cause of the problem, that at the end of last week by several members of the NeoGAF forum was signalled, is that Electronic Arts, the online passes a sell-by date to date. The pass is not for the EA to set date activated, then he expired. So are the online passes for Dragon Age 2 on march 31, 2012. Who Dragon Age 2 after that date new buy in the store, so with a not working online pass, reports Joystiq. Not all games have an online pass with expiration date, but Dragon Age 2 and Need for Speed: The Run in any case.
In his response to Joystiq let EA know that gamers with an expired online pass free, a new pass can get. According to the Dutch gamesite XGN resolves the problem, however, is not always; the site reports that the replacement codes, which some gamers EA have received, neither works.
