EA quietly ends the On the House free game program
Back at E3 2018, Electronic Arts announced a new service that would let players access their Origin Vault and play over 100 different games for a monthly fee of $14.99. Today, it was revealed that the service will be going live on July 30, but when they made this announcement, it was also noticed that on the same day, EA quietly discontinued something else. What that turned out to be was their On the House program, which used to offer free games each month to users. These free titles ranged from Battlefield 3, to Peggle, to Sims 2 and all its expansions, and nearly 35 others throughout On the House's 4 year run. Now, when you visit the old On the House link, it redirects you to a page where you can purchase a subscription for Origin Access instead, and has been officially stated by EA to no longer be active. The last game they offered was Peggle, earlier this year.
