This plan would benefit their One Time Pass a lot since now you would be required to activate or pay just to play the game instead of before only needing to activate/pay for multiplayer modes and not single/offline modes.

It is also possible EA just wants to add even more DLC and pay content while focusing less time on needing to create a single player mode or content. Sports games could be affected by getting rid of campaigns or Be A Pro mode.

In other EA related news, Dead Space 2 demo should be available on December 21 for XBLA and PSN in the US/Canada while Europe just needs to wait an extra day for it.
They're not doing away with 1 player games. That's just stupid. When less than half of all 360s have gold accounts and games like Mass Effect 2 are licenses to print money, it just means that they're going to focus more on multiplayer aspects of gaming.
