    Hey everyone, I would just like to let everyone know that Origin has launched a new subscription based membership that allows players to get (As of right now) 15 FREE games for a $4.99 Monthly price. The current games include;
    • Battlefield 4 Digital Deluxe Edition
    • Dragon Age Inquisition Digital Deluxe Edition
    • Battlefield Hardline Digital Deluxe Edition
    • Battlefield 3
    • SimCity
    • Fifa 15
    • Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare
    • Need For speed Rivals Complete edition
    • Dead Space 3
    • Dragon age II
    • Dead Space 2
    • Dragon Age Origins - Ultimate Edition
    • Dead Space
    • The Sims 3 Starter Pack
    • This war of mine
    Along with those, you now have 10% off mostly everything in the Origin Store. So if you guys can deal with Origin and it not being steam, or a monthly subscription, then I think this would be worth it.

    How is it free if it's 5 dollars a month wouldn't a long term investment during a summer sale or Christmas sale be more profitable or get the games from g2a?

    It was a good thing (Business practice wise (at least from EA)) until I figured out that they have the EXACT same thing on the Xbox One under the name EA Access. Which you would have to pay 5 extra for. Why they couldn't have just combined the two? The world may never know.

    RIP Pandemic. Mercenaries 2 was fun.

    Nevertheless, I dislike Origin's customer support, resulting in me using the thing itself at a minimum rate.

    Time for a quick Q and A with Brunerth and himself!
    Q. What is it?
    A. Basically Steam with changes and run by EA.

    Q. Does it cost money?
    A. Yes.

    Q. Do I recommend this to myself?
    A. Look at your wallet and answer that.

    Q. So what you're saying is... Fuck origin?
    A. Exactly. You get a pat on the head. *proceeds to sit in corner and pat head.*
    That's my summary of this... Those of you with money would probably actually enjoy that. Iunno, do whatever.

    It must be hard to interview Brunerth. How long did it take you to find him?
