Got an email today about Origin Access, and not quite sure how I feel about it yet.

As a paid monthly subscription, it rubs me the wrong way. From what I can see, it's a $5 monthly fee that gives a few benefits like 10% discounts, early access to EA games and some demos, and access to The Vault, a collection of free full games and there will be added more little by little.

For me I don't see the benefit. I only have about 20 Origin games and don't buy very often. Now if GOG or Steam offered this, I'd be all over it, especially if that 10% could be combined with their sale prices!

Indeed. I rarely open up Origin so I definitely wouldn't be purchasing this nonsense.

At first, when I got the email I thought Origin was moving to a paid subscription and it almost got me mad :laugh:

Plus Origin has terrible sales for the most part, other than the occasional free game.

Truly, even U-play's sales are much better compared to Origin's!

EA you're the worst. After battlefront and the season pass I'm not sure I'll be buying much from them.

Kind of seems like they're trying to hop on the Amazon Prime/Newegg Premier train.

Heheh I know exactly how I feel about it. It's Origin.

I doubt it, this is likely them trying to emulate the success of PS+.

Anybody else get an email from GMG? I got a 25% off voucher for Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen which knocked it down to £18 so I bought it. It was a unique voucher code unfortunately, but I guess if you're on their mailing list you might get one.

I did as well, but I couldn't be bothered at the time to go look up the game and see if I wanted it.

Whacky Wheels?! I played the demo of that over and over again when I was young!
Also Death Rally is another excellent game that I remember from my childhood. I'm at least 83% sure the movie Death Race was completely based off it.
