I have always bought games and then when I get tired of them and know I wont play them again I sell them on ebay for about $15 less than I paid. That price is different depending on how old the game was, how much it cost me, or how long I kept it, and some games I do just keep.
This "online pass" garbage seems to be directly attacking anyone who might want to eventually sell their games, and also services like Gamefly or Red Boxthat rent out games.
I didn't like that they did that with Mass Effect 3, but then I'll probably keep my Mass Effect games forever anyway.

This issue REALLY got to me recently when I saw great reviews for Starhawk and made the huge mistake of buying it. The campaign was fun, but eventually got frustrating and was very short. Online play was chaotic, but in a very bad way. The usual selfish people start building a station right off the bat to make whatever vehicle they want to drive off to their deaths, quickly reaching the build limit for the level. Then they start attacking their own buildings because they can't win with nothing but jet bike stations...
I tried to like multiplayer. Played it for hours, and I did have a few good fun games with a bit of actual teamwork involved, but overall I hated it.
Can't sell it even for $45 though because the damn online pass costs $10 and I had to use it to play it online.
For this reason, I hate Starhawk altogether.

I simply will not be buying another mainly MP game with the online pass shit unless I know for a fact I will want to be stuck with it for good.

Its not just the online pass though... Same day DLC that is already on the disk and other things too... Gaming just isn't at all what it used to be.
