FYI / PSA...

 

Warner Bros adds Batman, Lego games to EA’s Origin Access

[PGHammer]

FYI/PSA : Origin no longer accepts prepaid (or debit) cards; they now specifically require credit cards.  (This is likely due to fraud based on them - this has been a problem - not JUST with Origin.)

Expect more services to kick prepaid cards to the curb.

And there business is going to drop, because not everyone has a credit card or is eligible to get one.

EA's fantastic Origin On the House program is no more

It's been "retired".

Wesley Yin-Poole

Deputy Editor

 

EA has quietly canned the Origin On the House program.

 

Redditor Mattmo831 noticed the On the House link redirects to Origin Access, and EA followed up to confirm the promotion had been "retired".

 

"Origin On the House has been retired and games will no longer be offered through the program," EA told PC Gamer. "This change won't affect any games players downloaded from the service prior to that date - those are theirs to keep forever.

 

"Even though this chapter of On the House is coming to an end, we're happy that we got to introduce so many great games to our awesome players. We're constantly looking for ways to improve our service and give our users an even better experience, and we thank everyone for being part of our community."

EA’s Origin Access Premier PC subscription is live

 

By Stephany Nunneley, Tuesday, 31 July 2018 21:37 GMT

 

Origin Access Premier is now available for PC users.

 

Origin Access Premier, announced during EA Play at E3 in June, has gone live as promised last week.

 

The service is a new tier of the Origin Access membership, and provides subscribers with over 100 games which can be played indefinitely. As long as a membership is maintained, obviously.

 

Subscribers are also provided access to full games such as Battlefield 5, FIFA 19, Madden NFL 19, and Anthem at release or a few days prior.

Good news - the same Play Ahead and Pre-load options are available to non-Premier Origin Access members as well (I pre-ordered Burnout Paradise Remastered for PC - for all of $4.99USD

(possibly)Better News - if you have a debit card, you can still use it with PayPal - which is itself usable via Origin (including Origin Premier).  Yes - it's a pain in the rear, but it works. (I used the same method for my Premier trial, and for my Remastered pre-order at the deep discount.)
