Origin not required to play The Old Republic

[Tinman]

You won’t need Origin to play The Old Republic

You can buy games from Origin store without downloading Origin desktop application

I have never seen or heard of this store or even know of any gamers that has used it.
Limiting the game to digital only will definitely hurt the sales. Digital distribution is a good thing but not if its the only thing. They already lost all the sales from impulse buys with just this move.

Also the fack that you can only download it for a year after buying the game.

Most useless indeed!
On a side-note: Origin allows CD-key registration of EA games you already own. There is an age-cuttoff though. Friend informed me that Bad Company 1 and 2 was claimed and credited by his Steam CD keys, but Battlefield 2 is a no-go...

Buy = yours for life....
Not = When EA thinks you had it for long enough, buy it again....

Steam or bust. I think EA getting money hungry.
