Origin Player Appreciation Sale: Command & Conquer: The Ultimate Collection (PC) $15, The Walking Dead (PC) $10 & More

I'm sorry. Though these are good prices it's not worth owning on Origin or supporting EA for that matter.
Aside from those who want Battlefield 3, its best to wait for deals on Steam copies. We've actually seen these prices for Greenman Gaming Steam copies as well as others for most of these games.

I have seen too many chat screenshots of origin customer service reps being rude to customers. I'll pass on this possible headache.

Quote from CyberMew : They will tell you to hold on a sec and paste you a very long unique code right in the chat. That is good for 15% off. Although for some reason it didn't work on Crysis 3! When the chat is done they will send you another email regarding the chat with the code inside too, but you should save it in the chat window just in case.

ACK! Guess I'll go back in the morning

"Customer appreciation" Really? That went out the window along time ago.

I don't recall Spore being cheaper, which is odd given how old it is. The steam sales never cut deeper than 50% on that one.

Still passing on Origin. Digital distribution requires serious trust, or lacking that (as EA always will), much better discounts. Heck I kinda sorta trust Valve, a little, but I still wait for 75% off with them. And the harder EA pushes to get origin on my computer, the less I want it.

To each their own though.

don't forget gamefly's having a big sale this week already as well and i'd not be surprised if a steam spring sale kicked off on thursday. it's that time of year. amazon will probably have something going on too so you might want to wait the week out before jumping on something you'd prefer to have on steam that's not exclusive to ea.

got walking dead and origin downloaded 2gb of data and then proceeded to tell me that the game would be installed on steam. attempted to do that and the whole game was downloaded again on steam.

Some tempting stuff here but I'm still resisting Origin/EA..

Quote from 722 : Oh, do you have multiple accounts too? No proof.

BF3 looks tempting but I'll pass. Pissed at EA for swtor more than anything lol

With regard to Origin being able to be hacked it seems as though it's more of a common browser issue. See comment.

I bought the 360 version but it was out of stock... will they cancel my order or ship it later?

Stay strong, honestly shouldn't be that hard.

EA in a nutshell: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-LE0ycgkBQ

The negative EA view is only pertaining to the implementation of the game not the games themselves. I think they have a great dev staff that does care. Customer service might fail (never had to deal with them) and the DRM movement sucks. I just don't think its fair to say that the games themselves suck at least in my experience.

As for the the Playstation version
I will be purchasing BF4 premium (already have BF3) without any hesitation.
