To all you who got the free games on Origin

[Paladin]

Just a PSA, but EA is apparently not banning people who got the games, someone on Facepunch called in about it. This is because, for one, it would be a PR nightmare, and two, people who only redeemed one or two are not in the wrong and should supposedly be keeping them.

However, I am hearing talk of wiping off the free games from those who got about 5+ games. If you want to keep any of them, install them immediately. Origin uses a modified .exe and if you downloaded them, you should still be able to launch them with your serial code.


I still have no real confirmation on the actual wiping of the games, though. Anyone got any sources on this? I'd love to know if I'm keeping 20 games or not.

I can't seem to find anything officially on the matter myself. I sent in an email asking about it.

Since you 'purchased' the games (albeit with a coupon that made them cost $0.00), doesn't that make them your property and thus illegal for them to take away from you?

:c

Money grubbing whores not putting something about it being their property and you just have the license? Even GFWL does that with like, 5 installs per game purchase.

No idea, the only games that I felt were worth 'purchasing' were Dragon Age 2 and Dead Space 2.

I only wanted to see where the story went, and after an hour or two of it, I have to agree.

General consensus was that the reviewers were either paid off or blinded by nostalgia. 82/100 on metacritic, that's such bullshit.

Well, I hope Bioware does better with DA3 Inquisition.

Well if we take a look at Mass Effect 3 and Dragon Age 2, we can realize that Bioware is little more than EA RPG. Even the Bioware co-founders quit recently.

As for me, I've started playing the Dragon Warrior/Dragon Quest series, and I gotta say, older JRPGs have a place in my heart.

I would be pretty mad if I lost all my 20+ games lol.

Apparently Medal of Honor keys aren't working for Multiplayer. Enter serial codes ASAP if you want online features for any of your games.
