EA's Origin Dumps Discs

31st March, 0 replies

Have ever used Origin? Were you aware they had physical discs? Well actually the digital game store did have discs, but will have them fully removed by April 4th, according to a blog post by EA's Craig Harris.

The blog post reads:

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

But if you're that 1 per cent 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."

In short, you probably won't be affected, but if you still buy physical discs from Origin, then you won't be able to soon.
