Origin (EA)



Origin is an online gaming, Digital Distribution and DRM platform developed by Electronic Arts that allows users to purchase games on the internet for PC, consoles, and mobile platforms, and download them with the Origin client (formerly EA Download Manager, EA Downloader and EA Link).

EA acquired the trademark Origin when it purchased Origin Systems in 1992. Origin Systems was a major game studio in the 1980s and 1990s, best known for its Ultima, Wing Commander, and Crusader game franchises.


 * Allegedly Free Game: Origin has the "On the House" program, were EA gives away a free game and along with the expansions. It's also the gamer's to keep.
 * Digital Rights Management
 * DRM
 * Internet Backdraft: Just as insanely buggy as Steam and Uplay when they first came out.
 * Justified. Also, EA isn't helping, what with its infamous reputation among gamers.
 * Also removing most of their games from Steam, like Crysis 2 earlier.
 * Indie Games: Origin also sells these, they're now called "EA Origins." Just to set them apart from the AA and AAA games.
