As I understand it, this "pass" is only good for your account so no letting your friends borrow the used game and play it unless they also pay the fee for their account.

WTF were they thinking? Didn't they catch a clue from the horrible press that EA has received the past year? Are you shitting me? Our system won't play a used game unless you pay us a fee? They are single handily killing this platform before it even begins. You wonder why corporations go belly up? It's because morons are running the company. I sure as hell won't be getting one.
You have a source for this confirmation by the way?
