Free Game From EA's Origin

Gamers-Association.com: Through an apparently very under-the-radar promotion, one sub-$20 downloadable PC title may be picked up for the low, low price of nothing at all via EA’s Origin distribution service. Simply stroll on into the this-is-definitely-not-Steam Origin store, find something special priced at $19.99 or below, add it to your cart, and punch in promo code OS3874XVC to redeem your free prize! Results are inconsistent, but click away to see the developing list of confirmed free options.

I still wont use that service.

TheMrFraz4963d ago

Haha, right? I just couldn't resist scoring something for a very rainy day.

da_2pacalypse4962d ago (Edited 4962d ago )

I would literally rather pirate the games than get them for free on that awful Origin client...

PS. I don't pirate video games.

TheRealSpy4962d ago

my last computer had origin. i couldn't stand it so i haven't bothered with it since i built this one. EA apparently doesn't realize that gamers want to minimize the apps it takes to run their games. Steam is all i want. Sure, valve doesn't get any money if EA doesn't provide their games through that service, but EA doesn't get any money now either...cuz i'm not installing origin.

vega2754962d ago

simcity would have been EA's only shot for me to install their dreadful service. but after the broadcast from yesterday and what they are doing to this game. I'm sad to say i won't be buying this game nor will origin ever touch my PC.....EVER... E.V.E.R.

never ever ever ever ever ever

Grap4963d ago (Edited 4963d ago )

and that's how we pay back to EA some guys in Neogef got all the games on that list by glitch. EA won't be happy.
Edit: it work for all around the globe not just who from USA. I my self not in US and got 3 games on that list.

SAE4962d ago (Edited 4962d ago )

how ?.. it doesn't work for me downloaded origin and still doesn't work ....

i created usa account too but the same happen -.-

v1c1ous4962d ago

this is all a ruse by EA to get people to sign up for origin

MEsoJD4962d ago

Awesome, I got The Sabotuer for free.

TheMrFraz4963d ago

Nice! Happy to hear it's still live! There were rumblings that the code had been invalidated...

Ashlen4963d ago

Yea, I was skeptical, but I figured what the heck it'll only take a few min's to check, and it worked.

Soldierone4963d ago

Be nice if Origin would friggin work....click on things 4 times just so it registers the click.

Intentions4962d ago

Nah your net and comp just sucks ass.

Soldierone4962d ago

Site actually had heavy traffic and was having issues load.

Still got my free game and downloaded it within 5 minutes so wasn't my internet.

Zha1tan4962d ago

nah you're just an EA fan girl

brandonb214963d ago

it works 1 per account so i made 5 got crysis crysis war head sim city bf2 and batman

mafiahajeri4963d ago

You in the US? doesnt seem to work in Europe. Anyway I thought about it its stealing and thats not cool so I dont want to do it, I wouldnt enjoy playing the games if I got them this way. You and your conscious I guess.

murkster-dubez4963d ago

How isit stealing if its a special offer? get a life.

HammadTheBeast4962d ago

This is EA we're talking about. You know, the company voted as worst in America by some people (it isn't really).

Stealing from them would be considered a good deed.

ninjahunter4963d ago

buy game, register CDkey on steam, profit.

Smashbro294963d ago

which games can you do that with?

ninjahunter4962d ago

IDk, I know you can register your steam games on origin. the game i got from origin today isnt on steam so i cant test my theory.

PastyGangster4962d ago

Doesn't work. I tried it with Dragon Age Origins(Which is on steam) And the CD key was invalid.

ninjahunter4962d ago

Shame, I guess thats just one thing origin has on steam.

When logic meets EA it generates anti-matter ..... so try not to apply it in any meaningful way. Entropy is what matters in there !!

badz14966d ago

cue the apologist saying that these are mostly just contractors hired for this specific project bla bla bla

The community warned them this would happen but nope they knew better they continued with the live service push the made the art style cartoonish and this is the result

isarai_lee78d ago

It's always so bizarre when studios announce something super early in development under the suggestion of forming the game to player feedback, and then they push against all feedback heading straight for the cliff while everyone is warning them along the way

lol ya think? they're sending all that work to the cheaper labor market as soon as possible. and FYI, that labor market has exploded in the last 5-10 years. They have enough people to replace every single job. But honestly, EA is over filled with useless upper management as it is. You could probably trim 25% of their staff with no real loss in production. They aren't gamers, they're business execs. Just look at how many AI related jobs they're already starting to post. Its also hilarious that PIF owns Battle field 6

lodossrage112d ago (Edited 112d ago )

Wait,

The same congress that attacked Lina Khan when she fought the Microsoft Activision purchase.
The same congress that allowed Disney to buy 90% of Fox
The same congress that allowed Liv Golf to buy the PGA
The same congress that sits back while Paramount tries a hostile takeover despite losing the bid for Warner Bros.

NOW, the suddenly cares about doing what's "right" for works? Yeah, right.

thorstein112d ago

No. There were elections and some of the scum were replaced.

TheColbertinator112d ago

Different elections. Different scum. Same results.

rlow1112d ago

i know its a long shot, but i hope this gets shot down.

ZwVw112d ago

EA now owned by The Saudis and Ubisoft to inevitably be owned by China. In hindsight, once EA and Ubisoft started having their financial woes, they should have pulled a Koei Tecmo/Bandai Namco by merging their operations into one.
