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.
Please read the entire post, as it does actually have a possible answer, albeit not one that would happen quickly. The "you're fucked" bit is dependent on whether or not the rest of the town you live in (if you live in one, and not way out where you can't even see your neighbor's house) is ALSO interested in decent high speed Internet/tv.
Also, if your house is half a mile from your neighbor, that pretty much makes you impossible to get good service to with current tech. Everyone wants super high speed Internet, but only where it's monetarily feasable will they do it. Getting fiber 5 miles down a road for one person would cost more than they'd ever make in that customer's entire lifetime of paying for the service.
