According to WiiUgo, EA is rigorously trying to make the Wii Y and Origin exclusive with the goal to block the Steam platform out completely.

I'm sorry, but what?

 

[Jinto]

Does not compute...

All you sheep supported this with BF3. I'm glad I refused to get it.

 

[The Mad Mule]

Interesting. I don't think anybody expected this.

 

[Shoulin]

I'm in the same boat, this doesn't make any bit of sense...

 

[NateN34]

I don't get it.

I don't have BF3 or Origin but the thing about it "stealing" your information was debunked. It's no different than Steam.

Back on topic, I have nothing against Origins really but this is stupid. No one wants to use Origin. EA will never be able to compete with Valve.

Before haters gonna hate, read the article. Steam is trying to block out Origin as well.

Most importantly however, is the news that EA is trying to push their Origin platform as a key element in Nintendo's online features. EA however is not alone, Valve seems to want to emplement their Steam platform into the Wii U however EA is obviously pushing their platform as the best option.

Read it and no where did it say they wanted to block out EA and make it exclusive.

 

[Kosire]

say what? Is internet isps going to be origin exclusive too??!

 

[UbNub]

Why would they let EA control their digital distrobution? Wouldn't that kind of anger Activision, Ubisoft, and all the other large publishers? I really hope this isn't true and if it is that EA fails getting Nintendo to consider such a bad idea. This just seems very unlikely for Nintendo to consider such a "deal".

 

[Riou]

EA get away from our beloved Nintendo!

 

[C4D0Z]

i dont understand what would make this seem like a good idea from Nintendo's perspective

 

[Zcypot]

hrmm?

w/e I dont care I bit the bullet for BF3 and installed the crapware origin... only because I am a big BF series fan. Not getting any other game that requires origin unless it is a Half-life game. Yes I am a steam fanboy deal with it.

 

[Gnomepatrol]

This further supports the idea that the next gen consoles will not be using physical media. To that, I say, thank goodness.

 

[stumpedcompaq]

Half Life I thought was on Steam?

Yes, we bought a single game on a platform and now this is happening directly because of that single purchase. Great logic bro!

EA does not have any ammunition to support Nintendo wanting this. If anything the number of people who bought BF3 compared to the number of people with other games on Origin would just be used to support Nintendo not wanting the Origin platform as it is obvious the only reason why it has so many users is for BF3. That is exactly what the number will show and also since so many people are complaining about Origin because they have BF3 will also work towards Nintendo not wanting to touch the platform (hopefully).

Either way I don't buy consoles so I guess I don't give a what in the end, hahaha.
