(and just want to point out ... good thing that come out of how its now Origin has 2 games you can get for free.. Battlefield 3 and Plants vs Zombies)
But to be honest the chance of these happening is really low.. Becouse Steam has i think all Origin users and more.. so there is no reason for many Dev to sale on Origin
Yep, that's the dream. Competition = good.
It's a games distrobution platform, nothing more. It works well, the customer support is phenomenal and they offer refunds.
Who? What deal?
If you made a Door.. will you want to sell it by someone else and lose on it? or sale by your own and earn more?
Is that greed? or just business?
I mean really dude.. if it was not really really expensive and not easy to make each game Dev will have just sell every thing with there own DRM saying one is greedy just as they have no reason to do it, what is the point?
EA and Ubisoft sell games on Steam not because there Not greedy.. but as Steam has a huge User base... so it was worth it for them to lose some % for it...
And like you can see it seem that EA got now there own user-base and left Steam.. for there own system Origin.. so it has nothing to do with greed...
I dislike EA because they bought a lot of developers I loved, destroyed them and killed the games. The few EA games I did enjoy got dumbed down for comsumption by cretins.
Not to mention they shut down game servers really early to make you buy Call of battlefield 9, banned people from playing thier own games after a forum ban and became the kings of "day one DLC", "always online" and "Online passes".
Pretty much every business decision EA has made for years has tried to screw over gamers for maximum profit. I wouldn't expect someone who has a 2 year old account full of free2play and indie games to know that though.
Gifting stuff is almost never done altrustically. It's a tactic to get people into your business (which steam doesn't really need to, since they're leading the race) it's also a non-returning investment (it's not assured those new customers will spend further money)
The speed in which Origin is pulling out "free stuff" stunts indicates two scenarios.
-Their userbase is below their business expectations. They NEED more users, at a rate they're willing to gift AAA titles to get people in.
-The shareholders are requiring 'moar money' and are forcing more aggressive tactics to up their userbase, in expectation of freeloaders spending eventually more money (DLC) . Even if that takes burning AAA titles by gifting them.
I've ended up having a nice opinion of Origin, but this later moves worry me and remind how easy EA has dumped previous projects.
I would suggest a third possible reason, they think they are in the "razor and blades" business where they can give away razers (games) and sell blades us blades (DLC). Look at Mass Effect 3, only £10 for the base product, but buy all the story DLC and it comes closer to £50.
Yes, EA has a habit of dropping services, but I think they'll continue to invest in Origins; it hasn't stopped Titanfall, SimCity, Crysis 3, Mass Effect 3 and Battlefield 4 from selling in huge numbers and EA would almost certainly want some extra form of DRM to accompany their games on top of Steam anyway. Should they dump Origins, they'll just have to replace it with something similar.
With regards to selling EA games on Steam and Valve's games on Origin, the main issue is that they have core game features baked into the platform itself. If Valve sold Portal 2 on Origin for example, it would still require Steam to be installed as well. Same way that Ubisoft's games require Uplay due to features that are tied to the Uplay client. It could easily be done with Valve and EA's platforms as well, but since they're still not talking to each other it isn't likely to happen any time soon.
And about the free games they give away, it's clearly being used as an attempt to lure people into the Origin ecosystem. Notice as well that these games are all games that have been practically given away before in the EA Humble Bundle. If they can get just 1 out of every 100 people who get the free games to buy another game on Origin later, or DLC even, then they will consider that a success. A great way to expand the customer base and get them familiar with the concept of Origin before they release the next installment of Dragon Age.
I wouldnt exactly call Sim City a "success" and Mass Effect 3 was going to sell well despite what EA did to it.
Id also like to know your source on Titanfall sales figures because everything ive heard is that it's completley overrated and a flop. EA have stubbornly refused to say anything about sales figues, companies don't do that when its good.
Being a broken, requiring online access and dumbed down hurt the game, Origins did not. Mass Effect 3 selling well just goes to show that Origin isn't the deal breaker everyone makes it out to be.
Just googling Titanfall sales figures and I can see that it had topped NPD rankings, beat EA's revenue forecast and still the top title on Origins.
True. I think Valve could learn a little from EA's refund policy for first party titles at least, the client is a lot nicer and a few other things as well.
Eh, my understanding is that non-game specific code is often added in a way that makes it easily removable from the game itself, otherwise major changes in Steam would also mean having to update the games themselves as well. Also, these Steam-specific features can be disabled - if you ever downloaded and played a game from a less than completely 100% legit source where money does not need to be exchanged between distributor platform and customer, you'd know this.
