EA’s Origin To Ditch Disc Support

Bad news for PC gamers who prefer to have a physical collection rather than online only, as EA’s Origin will be going completely digital, starting from the 4th of April. According to a post on Origin’s Site,

 If you’re among 99% of our users, absolutely nothing. Your shopping experience hasn’t changed one single bit.

But if you’re that 1% who still desires a physical collection, we want to let you know that Origin won’t be able to fulfill that need beginning April 4th. We’ll still be here when you transition your gaming habits to the wonders of digital downloads.

Honestly, I don’t think this was a good time to go digital only. Recently we just had Titanfall come out, and it takes up 50 GB of your hard drive space. In my opinion, as long as bandwith limitation and low internet access in some areas exist, adopting digital only will be risky, as it will limit your potential audience. Not to mention, games are getting huger by the day, so it isn’t going to be getting anymore convenient. But hey… what do we know right? For updates regarding this situation, stay tuned to Push-Start.
