EA pretty much lost me as a customer, to bad, i liked many of their games.
And any of those games are worth it why?
I'm sure anyone who wanted Mass Effect 2 already has it. And that's the only one on that list that is worth it.
Medal of Honor was purely shit and isn't worth even free. Dead Space 2 is "meh" at best.
This isn't going to make me want to use Origin any more than I didn't already want to use it now. Maybe if they had ANY game from their current library save for pre-orders, I'd consider it. Or maybe if it included an option of 2 months free play of SW:TOR, I "might" consider it.
However, as it stands, desperate attempt to sell a game after piss poor publicity. Really, if it was on Steam and included a TF2 hat, I'd still sell more than with free games included off Origin, and that's just sad.

I would totally swap my ME2 for your Bastion, but how do you do that again?thenumberthirteen said:
I don't think I would get it either way (and if I do it'll be for my PS3), but this Origin bullsh*t is just frustrating. You can give away as many pre-order bonuses as you like, EA, your still coming across as a greedy b*stard.
Considering I don't want any of those games and Battlefield 3 costs £10 more on Origin, I'm still going to pass. Nice try though, EA. Maybe next time try selling YOUR OWN GAME for a lower price than it costs to buy a physical copy of it somewhere else.
Actually I was after the other way round. I've got giftable copies of Mass Effect 2 and Saints Row 2 for trade (I don't want hats).de5gravity said:
I disagree.MitchyD said:
Limiting the release of BF3 to Origin funnels many potential buyers towards, if anything, Modern Warfare 3.
I'll be very interested to see how long it takes Origin to crash and burn, because even if it does take off it's ultimately run by EA and therefore destined to fail eventually.
Not in a bad way, but a kindly joking,intheweeds said:
giving your "personal info," besides your credit card info, they already have it haha. EA accounts are Origin accounts.
But on another side, I do agree with you. I'm not so miserly with my money, but when it comes to my actual information...ehhhhhh. Even though I trust most companies to guard my information as best as they can, doesn't mean that I think that their best is that good.
Yeah i know. I haven't played any EA games since they tried to make me sign up. So i'm still safe. *crosses fingersRienimportant said:
Yeah i just don't like my info being spread all over servers everywhere. I have been lucky not to be compromised in any of the more recent public hacks, but you can never be truly safe. But Valve, Microsoft, Blizzard and whatever company it is that makes Champions Online already has my info. That's just the direct gaming (that i can think of off the top of my head). There's also all the programming crap i have to be signed up for: Miscrosoft Dreamworks, Oracle, etc. Not to mention email, this site, etc etc etc etc...
Are you listening game companies? I have too many passwords to remember!
It's actually a really stupid move for EA. Anytime you limit the locations of your product, you are making it less available. They want to beat CoD, they won't like this. CoD will be sold on everything.MitchyD said:
It hurts them to do this. Whether it's true or not, a lot of people have said they won't be purchasing it because it's not on Steam. That is stupid for a game that will probably be really good, but I don't blame them either.
