Until I can unify both accounts, I won't play these games either.

I don't think Dead Space 3 is the best game to lead that claim

Because people want to desperately play Dead Space 3.

Australia would be my guess.
Digital collector's editions, yeah. Not really exclusive to Origin though.

If they offered good games then they would be right, but that's not the case.
EA's PC games are $70.

Here is Crysis 2 and Dragon Age 2 on sale for the millionth time. There is no way these games aren't in your backlog.

A few weeks ago I finally caved and bought the pc version of Mass Effect 3 (had a used copy on ps3).
Was pleasantly surprised. I have had no trouble with it and it loads up really fast, unlike Steam (steam seems to be pretty slow for me lately).
A couple of weekends ago they had a 40% off sale.
edit: er, probably spoke too soon. store is running like crap right now. Maybe due to the sale.

Oh wow, didn't know DS3 scored so badly. That's hilarious, and well deserved considered what they turned the series into

I got my free copy of Dead Space a while ago never installed it, I'm not redeeming free BF3 out of spite. Your games are no good here, EA. Unless they have giant robots.
Q: One of the things that Steam does is this random deep-discounting of software, and it works well for them. Do you see that as something you want to do?
David DeMartini: We won't be doing that. Obviously they think it's the right thing to do after a certain amount of time. I just think it cheapens your intellectual property. I know both sides of it, I understand it. If you want to sell a whole bunch of units, that is certainly a way to do that, to sell a whole bunch of stuff at a low price. The gamemakers work incredibly hard to make this intellectual property, and we're not trying to be Target. We're trying to be Nordstrom. When I say that, I mean good value - we're trying to give you a fair price point, and occasionally there will be things that are on sale you could look for a discount, just don't look for 75 percent off going-out-of-business sales.

"Dragon Age 2"
"Actually play"
Bwahahahahaha, someone call the ambulance because I think I'm having a heart attack.
Still though, it was nice of EA out of all people to be giving out free games.

I don't know Origin.
I played DS3 and it wasn't great.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
Heh.
I bought a bundle of the entire Command & Conquer series, including 4, for $5 a few months ago.

That is the DLC I believe.
DS3 was good, but I didn't enjoy it as much as DS1 or even DS2. Far from the train wreck people make it out to be.
actually I want to know too.... why DO we have those backlogs? :/

At least they are trying. They don't have the catalog Steam has so I give them credit for doing the best they can with what they've got. This is a great step in the right direction and if it works, they may be ballsy enough to try it on the console digital downloads.

I am sad that steam is being flooded with shovelware and mobile games though, I gave up looking at the store page updates a few weeks ago and won't use the steam store anymore

Their logic is weird. If my backlog can wait then so can most of these old-ass games.
And technically every DD platform sale is a 'go at steam.'
