Gameitall This is where I think EA is starting to dig themselves a hole.
It seems that regardless of how you decide to play Battlefield 3, a registration to EA’s Origin service will be required. The news comes via DICE community manager Daniel Matros, who confirmed the suspicion via Twitter. In other words, all retail and digital copies, regardless of whether they were purchased via Origin or another digital distributor, players must have an origin membership.
For those of you think your safe using Xbox live and Playstation Network, well bad news for you as well, as an Origins membership is also required. As I reported eariler this week, EA also decided to no offer Battlefield 3 via Steam, due to “restrictive terms” on Valve’s part.
Limiting how most people play your game is not a great strategy
