That's awesome.  why so serious?

It's just following in the SOCOM footsteps to make money off preowned game sales. Which raises the question of "who is buying last year's EA Sports game to play online?"

That question, reversed: how long does GameStop keep the old EA titles on the shelf / at a premium value?

On the shelf, forever. At a premium? Up to the launch of the next year.

Another naked EA cash grab. Doesn't really affect me, since I don't rent or buy used games, but still not a big fan of the precedent.

It is slightly more naked than what they did for Mass Effect 2, Dragon Age, or The Saboteur.  On the other hand, it's the game's online stuff so it doesn't really feel any more egregious to me.
