Origin will now allow returns of digital games

I can do this anyway, with Origin or any other DD service. I dont need EA to give me permission.

For all the flak EA's got the past years for their atrocious customer-relations and DLC/money-making policies, I've always liked them for one thing: PC fidelity. At least as far as the games I play go, I've never felt like I was playing a console port, be it Battlefield, Mirror's Edge or Mass Effect*. I didn't even have an Origin account until the last humble bundle, and I can say I'm not disappointed to have made one - the interface is still worse than Steam's, and it doesn't have that amazing catalogue, but now I'll give it a chance and keep it running alongside Steam. This is just the cherry on top. :)

*the worse I did feel was that games' interfaces were dumbed down for the sake of consoles, but nothing game compromising - certainly nothing irksome like Rockstar's PC games.

If only that draconian Steam allowed refunds instead of going through two thousand loops only to get a resounding "No" in the end. Scumbags at Valve changed our libraries into renting licences to accessing games in order to circumvent European law of refundability of digital content. Your turn, scumbag Valve.

Awesome. That's a really smart decision. It's something it's got on Steam now

It's only after a certain period of time though isn't it? Like a week?

Don't think I'd have a game finished by then but I guess it's better than nothing

that's...interesting.

As I said, I guess it's better than nothing at all

Do you know any EA games that can be beaten in less than a day?strawhatlupi

Hopefully within a few years time we'll be able to trade in any game we purchase on any digital platform at any time.

Thats cool I guess. The prices suck and Valve still provide superior service so, eh.
