Only $4.95 for Over 36 Select EA Games... on Origin

I find it amusing that the Spore Creature Creator is now the same price as the actual game. Not only that, but at FULL PRICE the creepy and cute pack, which as far as I can tell is just a bunch of doodads, is the same price as the game itself.

Oh, and no of course I'm not going to use Origin. That would be silly.

I can see at least three no-brainer steam purchases that I won't be making BECAUSE of Origins. EA's proprietary platform is literally preventing me from giving them money.

You better listen up EA this guy knows math and stuff.

I started missing out on newer PC titles when Steam first came out, for one reason or another, it has never got along with my computers or accounts, then again, my computer sucks. But I don't really see what all the controversy is with EA's new service, besides the content pulling from other stores. To me this is pretty much a flashback to 8 or 9 years ago.

And that BF2 is a f***ing killer deal!

There's no controversy, most people just think EA is really dumb for having their own digital download service when obviously very few people are going to make the effort of maintaining an account there when they already have Steam. It was one thing back then to have to make a Steam account because you already own all your physical games and can play them whenever. But now, to already an account for literally everything else, and then have EA think they're special enough to make you use an entirely different service for their games alone... well you get the idea.

Let the bodies hit the floor!

To me Steam is a god-send to PC users. Origin, not so much

there is no way in hell I will ever use this service unless there is like no other way to play a game... and in the end I still might refuse.

don't freeken remind me.... and trust me I have the PC system to run BF3 in all its glory well to a point I suppose.

The only way EA can make me use Origin is if they put Freedom Fighters on it. I can't find this ****ing game anywhere.

No, not really.

Ocarina 3D is $34.70 on Amazon just for today if anyone's interested.

So if any of these games need online servers EA will shut them down at the end of the year most likely.

I would love Steam more than I love my own (non-existent) children if I had the PC to run any of the games it offers.

So upgrade to a new PC.

I have an origins account, but not the actual client...yet.
Sadly The Old Republic will make me change that :/

Those screens all say $4.99. I'm calling shenanigans.

Also The Sims: Glamour Life -Stuff- makes me lol
