[E3 '11] Origin: The digital distribution system
By hack on 03.Jun.2011
Electronic Arts Valve envies, and that is normal, parents of Half Life are succeeding with its digital distribution service, so EA will release Origin.
Origin is a new digital download platform where we can find the titles of the company's own founder and others which will be enrolling. This story has two sides, good and bad, the good news is that there will be more competition for deals will therefore more often (as if there were a few deals on Steam!) And the bad news is that there will need to register another service in order to access other games on Steam do not find ...
Be seen as the thing progresses, I continue staying with Steam, pretty good deal for users and offers are very juicy.
Origin Features:
- System digital distribution of games and downloadable content
- Network
- Profiles
- Messaging between friends list
It is unknown whether there will be something like achievements or trophies of Microsoft and Sony consoles, but everything points to yes.
Oh, I forgot, that Origin start to be effective from the first 150 titles will be launched and the new MMO, Star Wars: The Old Republic, only available in the digital distribution medium, so we will obviously physically stores, but will possibly manage to get an account on this system.
