Origins Ditches Discs
[Mar 31, 2014, 08:53 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments

The Origin website announces EA's online store is dropping physical discs and going online only (thanks VideoGamer.com). Word is:

Starting April 4th Origin will be going all digital. This means the entire Origin game store will be entirely digital downloads for PC and Mac.

What does this mean for you? If you're among 99% of our users, absolutely nothing. Your shopping experience hasn't changed one single bit.

But if you're that 1% who still desires a physical collection, we want to let you know that Origin won't be able to fulfill that need beginning April 4th. We’ll still be here when you transition your gaming habits to the wonders of digital downloads.

Digital is fast and convenient. Origin’s focus is to give gamers the best experience, and going all-digital will make that possible.

Uh ok, so... if someone buys a EA Game on disk from Amazon/Gamestop or where-ever, they can't use the key on Origin? I assume this means they are just not selling the disks on Origin and leaving that to third party distributors.

Yeah that is what it means I believe.
Just like how Steam doesn't sell any discs but you can redeem "CD-keys" in Steam.
