Origins Ditches Discs

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.

2 words: DATA CAPS!!!

Some folks have crappy isps and 1 game will wipe out their monthly allowance. With extra data being btwn 9 and 15 usd per GB, who wants to pay 400 dollars to download NFS?

Let me set you straight, no wifi hotspots in my area. I'd rather go to a friend a of mine with a UBS key and download off piratebay once and never have to be bothered again with disguised DRM.

I have loads of legit games here I bought in dvd/cd format back when all was needed was a CD/DVD/Serial/phone home once check. Back then the protections were circumvented, but they werent a pain in the ass, but I wouldn't bother with cracked software because it wasn't a pain in the ass. So I actually bought games.

Right now its: Buy DVD, oh, no data on the DVD, or data, but still 2 gigs of crap to download as a useless day-1 DRM measure ( which gets circumvented on day 1 anyway ). And you can't download patches, or these day 1 downloads on usb keys, you actually need your computer, yeah I'm going to haul my desktop around to a Wifi hotspot, ofc.

Well, when they began doing this, I got fedup with the crap of hauling my computer case around. I stopped buying and started cracking and loading to a USB key, fuck you, won't jump into 36 loops in the right order with my head upside down and pay for your ( useless, since they get cracked day 1 anyway ) paranoia. Bbye.
