Fuxk EA , fuck Origin, they will price gouge for their releases now instead of pricing competitively due to them only being available there
"Banking was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin. The bankers own the earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create money, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take away from them the power to create money and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear and they ought to disappear, for this would be a happier and better world to live in. But, if you wish to remain the slaves of bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create money." Josiah Stamp (Governor Bank of England 1928-41)

You know what, even if you get this as a box version, you'll probably be locked into Origin with it even then... EA will want it to be like Battlenet...

Hey, have you got select EA games such as Battlefield: Bad Company 2, Dragon Age: Origins, Mass Effect 2, Dead Space 2, Alice: Madness Returns, Dragon Age II (and possibly even more) on Steam? Well, you’re in luck! PC Gamer reports that these games purchased on Steam can also be activated on EA’s Origin service.

Don’t be fooled, however, because not every EA game utilizes this function. Mass Effect, for example, is one such title.

Apparently, the Origin service already “auto-detects” EA games on users’ computers, so perhaps sometime in the future Origin can detect your Steam titles. Interesting, huh?


didnt they claim origin wouldnt be competition for steam? well im guessing soon EA will pull all its titles from steam.

So done some digging (official forums are full of people who really need their keyboards taking away, my little faith in humanity may have been finally stripped away):

Stephen Reid:

No, you won't.

While Origin will be the exclusive digital retailer for Star Wars: The Old Republic (in other words, if you want to buy it online and download it, you’ll do so through Origin) that does not mean that Origin is required for you to access or play The Old Republic.

Origin is a digital storefront, and the desktop application is there to give you quick access to Origin exclusives and deals.

However, you won’t need to launch the Origin application to run The Old Republic, nor will you patch the game via Origin. Once the game is on your hard disk, you’ll be connecting to our servers to patch and launch the game, and Origin does not have to be running to do that.

To answer another question - boxed versions of the game will include the client on DVD(s).
