EA Offering One Free Game Via Origin*

[ZAFDeltaForce]

I didn't get any email.... must be North America only.

Indeed, which sucks for the rest of the world

 

[Gahars]

What's the matter with you EA? You're cheapening the IPs here!

 

[Nathan Drake]

Didn't EA recently say Steam cheapens IPs by having such massive sales?
Only to then do the exact same thing shortly after?
And now they're flat out giving away free games?

Oh EA, you're so funny.

Oh, but look how limited this giveaway is. It's only for two countries, and even then, many people seem to not be getting the email offer. Chances are, they'll have wanted you to be a member of Origin since it's creation, which will be like, 100 people, worldwide.

Not to mention it's 3 games most gamers have played already.

Free just ain't worth it if I have to run it through Origin.

Seriously:

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 - March 2010
Dragon Age: Origins - September 2009
Spore - September 2008

There's not even anything released within the past two years. One of them is a title where you need DLC to complete the experience (B:BC2), one of them barely anybody will want (Spore), and the other everybody has played (Dragon Age).

But the IP values!
;o;

Incidentally, I just got the email. I signed up about 5 days before ME3 was released.
For those curious.

Damn, i should of made an account awhile ago, i like free games.

Ok apparently i have an account, never got an email.

 

[Gh0sti]

[Sylar1]

Just tried to verify my account, they didn't actually give me a link.

Top line says the link is below

The line under it says the link is above.

A friend has this same problem and the only date of birth they would have used wouldn't work when attempting to verify so the tech rep would help!

 

[frogboy]

I opt in for emails but did not get one. Not at all. I'm not a new member, either. I've been a member since getting some free copy of Mass Effect 2 months ago or something.

I'm probably the only person who wants Spore, though.

Alas, I'm not one to ask for a promo code, so I'll be sitting here waiting for the email to appear in my inbox and it never will...

Nah, I want Spore as well

I also haven't recieved an email. Huh, that's odd.

 

[Devin]

I am afraid the distribution is in process, please wait for some time as I am unable to provide it to you.

Give it some time. This is from the EA tech support.

 

[triassic911]

Nice of EA to be doing this, although hypocritical on their part. Anyway, I won't bother with this. Never installing Origin on my PC.

 

[Fear Zoa]

Look at poor hypocritical EA "cheapening their IP's" with free stuff and actual worthwhile sales.

(too bad steam still does it better)

 

[Hadrian]

Grab for "free" elsewhere? That way you don't have to run a service that so far has no use.

I have had origin since i bought Star Wars: TOR. Can't even run the game or origin on my gaming pc but yet the game runs just fine on my junk pc with lowest settings.

Went to the website to see if they sent codes out to origin account boxes as well but nothing. They are offering 50% off the price of games today only when it's a pre-order.
