Holy crap...a good idea from EA!
[url=http://www.destructoid.com/ea-wants-to-follow-you-across-all-gaming-platforms-247204.phtml?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+Destructoid+%28Destructoid%29&utm_content=FaceBook]Source (Destructoid)[/url]
Here's what this means. EXAMPLE:
>Person A uses the same Origin account for all EA games.
>Person A buys Battlefield 4 (for example) and uses his Origin ID.
>Person A can now play Battlefield 4 on the PC without having to buy it again, since he already bought it on the Xbox.
Honestly...this is a really good idea IMO.
What are your thoughts on this?
-
1 ReplyOrigin sucks and was the main reason I removed Battlefield 3 from my PC.. That and that Premium bull crap.
-
no way, EA would never do something that would impress the fanbase at the expense of more money.
-
-
2 RepliesAll the people who claim that Origin is spyware or malware are either steam users or console users. Do a little analysis of the program, it sends off PC information to EA during crashes. That's it.
-
I'm not going to install spyware onto my computer.
-
1 ReplyYeah I'm not installing malware
-
Until they confirm this to be exactly as you say I'm going to assume that this will cost money. Also lolorigin
-
That only benefits console users though. PC players don't suddenly get a free BF4 disk for buying a product key on the PC.
-
If EA's suggesting something, It's because it makes them a butload of cash in the process... It makes no sense they'd let someone buy something on console and not have to pay extra to get it on pc.
-
Hmm . . .
-
EA is all about squeezing every penny out of games possible. They achieve this by rushing out crap copies of good games that they either xerox or buy the rights too. The chance of this becoming reality is so negative that barnacle.
-
If we could do this on BF3, I would add 1000 respect points to their total, bringing it to 2x10^(-41)

The article just talks about it being easier for EA to follow you from platform to platform, mostly for targeted advertisements. There's no way EA would ever implement your 'example'.

1 ReplyWhat like how valve offered portal 2 on steam if you bought a console version? Or how about when you buy any version of deus ex human revolution you got a free deus ex stub for onlive. It is hardly genuis. Especially when it should have been this way in the first place.
-
Edited by Seggi: 3/1/2013 4:00:40 AMHuh? How can they afford the massive costs the various platform companies would charge them to do that? Are they just going to jack up the cost of all games that offer it to cover that?
-
1 ReplyEA? Suggesting something genius like this? I... need to lay down.
-
My eyes decieve me. Let me stabs them out... Nope, I am still seeing this.
-
This applies to anything regarding EA.
-
It should have always been like this. What I want is if I buy a game for Ps4, I can also play it on Xbox720 and just play the game through an on-demand service.
-
4 RepliesImagine if this only worked for the Xbox. Microsoft and EA are apparently becoming partners. Doing this would get PC players to buy the Xbox version just so they could have the game on console and PC. It's a smart move regardless.
-
I have had this idea for awhile. EA is spying on me.
-
1 ReplyEdited by Malfar: 3/1/2013 12:18:05 AMYeah, but my guess is they'll charge you $90 for the game because it's cross platform...
-
1 ReplyWaaaaaaiiiiiiiit...............you're saying that.........and i'm not sure i'm hearing this right, but, origin may actually be worth a damn now?

I would think with it being EA that you would have to pay for it again. Maybe I will actually be able to play some of my older EA games on my nice computer... -
6 RepliesI bought BF3 on xbox and PC because I wanted to try out the 64 player battles on PC.
-
6 RepliesPeople will still find a way to hate EA for this.
