Nintendo DS tag? Wii? PS3? Isn't Origin a PC digital-delivery service ala Steam, but with godawful, invasive DRM?

caboose324528d ago

Actually I believe Origin sells physical copies of console games too, so this sale goes towards those also.

Don't forget the part where if you complain about a game and get banned on their forums you lose all the games you purchased for the duration of your ban.

I will never trust EA with digital content those server closing assholes. They lock you out of your games and make them useless. Real publishers let people keep their own servers up or let you play P2P EA just screws us and bricks your games forever.

US does console games also. Australia and Asia does not.

Persistantthug4528d ago

But did any of you notice that Origin is now selling BATMAN: ARKHAM CITY?

This means that EA is ramping up to compete directly against Steam and other Download services.

Personally, I think it's great.
More stores = better for everybody. :)

Pandamobile4528d ago

They also have THQ and Capcom titles.

Pandamobile4528d ago

No, I've got no problems with Origin as a service. While I'll always love and prefer Steam, I'm not one of those anti-Origin radicals you see all over the place.

Country-based pricing, huh? Most of their games are still 50 euros ($66)... I'm not going to buy anything from there.

Loved Alpha Protocol in all it's glorious jank. Great game.

SimpleSlave30d ago (Edited 30d ago )

Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.

Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.

Pity.
