EA's Origin service fucks up, offers infinite $20 off coupons, possibly banning users which took adv
1,506 replies, posted
Man Origin is retarded. I installed my games in my D:/(1TB) and not my C:/(64GBSSD) and it doesn't run bulletstorm, or C&C3 because it's searching for the binaries in the wrong goddamn place. What the fuck?
How is this funny >:(
[QUOTE=Mr.Heal;38028151]Origin is moving so slow. Not going to be able to get free games :C.[/QUOTE]
I have slow internet so I can't tell the difference :v:
Just got Dead Space and ME2
[QUOTE=Folstream;38028045]Dunno if already posted but to get all the games on your account do this:
1. Chrome incognito, don't be logged in
2. Add game to cart
3. Add promo code, game becomes free
4. Remove the game from the cart
5. Login to your main account
6. Re-add the game to your cart. On the game page it should say something like "Sale price 0.00$"
7. Finish the purchase
No credit card details asked for, no invalid codes, no nothing.
No Battlefield 3 games work except for Karkand (maybe). However most other games still do work.[/QUOTE]
Goddamnit, I figure this out [i]after[/i] I've created seven Origin accounts and already downloaded every game. :sigh:
I might end up adding everything to one account tomorrow if this still works.
Lol it's giving a 503, their site is still getting hammered even now.

That's what I said when I first saw this thread ten hours ago. "Oh damn I'm too late, it's probably fixed by now," and didn't even bother opening it.
Came back five hours later to see the thread still alive.

I guess that completely justifies everything that's going on right now.
Yep.
[QUOTE=milkandcooki;38028239]I guess that completely justifies everything that's going on right now.
Yep.[/QUOTE]
nothing is justified on this planet anymore. one fuck up leads to millions of people getting games. their loss is our gain.

to be honest this is money they wipe their ass with, worst they can do is ban us all from ea. this isn't piracy, this isn't protected by a law. so nothing justified.
Some men just want to watch the EA burn.

Do you confirm each purchase individually?
[QUOTE=ShaunOfTheLive;38028254]Some men just want to watch the EA burn.[/QUOTE]
I doubt this will make ea burn, hell I wonder if they are gonna be happy.
"look valve we got a lot of downloads and users all of a sudden!"

For all the shit they've done like stripping out the things Spore and BF3 could have had, of course we want to.

Either way they're fucked, which is kind of sad.
If they remove games from accounts and say that the code was being abused, people will bitch and whine and act like they're entitled to dozens of free games.
If they try to play it off as a huge gift for PC gamers, they'll [I]still[/I] get flak, and people will stay stupid shit like "omg ea ur gay u cant make me lik u cuz u destroded WESTWOOD!!1! fucking faggot never buying EA gaems AGAI!N1!!
So I finally managed to get a 10$ game. And Origin would not let me download. It said something about UAC prevented Origin from creating directories, yet I'm using XP..

"You're just jealous! Nyah nyah!"
Probably my last though. Since it took like 30 mins just to get it.
Hey guys, is there a list of shit compatible with steam?

I'm pretty sure if EA said this was a gift, everyone would be saying "thanks ea for not being pieces of shit for once!"

Ohhhhh... So how do I turn it off?
[QUOTE=DaDillsta;38028290]None of the freebies are.[/QUOTE]
Shit. It's EA's master plan, offer free games that only work on origin to get you hooked, make more money in the long run.
Or maybe they're just stupid.
i just bought the 5 game pack last weekend too, now i could've gotten them all for free
was only 7.49 though
