EA's Humble Origin Bundle offers Dead Space 3 for $1

@arqe Mostly the fact that Steam works and Origin doesn't.

If you want to leave Battlelog open for 5 days without playing a game, and then you try to join on your friends, guess what happens. You don't join the game, despite the fact that Battlelog is running in real-time and you're logged in. No, you have to log in to Origin AGAIN, and then relaunch battlelog, and then connect.

Guess what happens if you leave Steam on for 5 days and don't do shit, then launch a game? IT LAUNCHES IMMEDIATELY.

Combine with that the fact that Steam has absurd sales, Valve doesn't nickel and dime its customers do death and in fact has a legion of people working on Steam to make it the best experience possible, and there is EVERY difference.

EA's entire library isn't even on Origin. Valves is. They went to the effort of putting legacy games on Steam. Where's BC2? Where's 1942 or any of 250 other EA games on Origin? No where. That's where. BC2 is on Steam, not Origin, that's where.

Origin is pig shit. Everyone knows that and if you don't understand, you don't belong on PC.

@arqe Steam is great. origin and uplay are pale compared to steam. but I never hated origin. I played EA games on origin even though they exists on steam and ubisoft games on uplay even if they are available in steam.

For remaining games I use steam.

@ACWH You can increase your existing donation, and get BF3 and Sims3, through "My Account" in humble bundle.

@northArrow The article neglected to mention that the "charity" is the golden parachute of John Riccitiello.

@marcheegsr It could have always got by without extreme horror. It's sci-fi, so it only needs to be a little bit horror. Since it's interactive it's too intense for alot of people. It's not like watching Prometheus.

@amaneuvering This is actually a big step and very surprising that EA would agree to this. To have their games sold for any price all for charity is very unlike them.

@amaneuvering What the hell are you talking about? None of this money goes to the "big boys" anyway

@amaneuvering Do explain, the price is quite humble.

@WantYouBad -_-

@SrebX Yeah just give the person you want to gift the key.

@MightyEzekiel =(

You can give the codes to a friend or family member then.

@GeneralMufinMan It certainly is a great deal, no doubt about that. I was waiting for a price drop on Dead Space 3 for a while now and I'm glad I waited.

On the second matter, all I can say is that if this is how they're trying to convince us to accept the "always online" and "digital is the future" bulls**t, then it's really not going to catch on a lot of people.

@green_scorpion yeah you do that. EA is trying to change and you are trying to hurt them.

why are people b**ching? why wont they think straight atleast once?

@green_scorpion You can get an EA game and the money can all go to charity. Win-win.

@green_scorpion If it's a way to hurt EA somehow, this is the best way.

@green_scorpion That money doesn't go to EA, you can give it to charity or to humble bundle site itself.

@Dannystaples14 Hardly worth it without paying for the DLC maps aswell
