EA's trying to compete with the online marketplace of PC gaming with their service, Origin, and they're throwing punches in Valve's direction.
With gamers not being happy about Steam apparently allowing any game on their service (anyone for Goat Simulator?), a lot of crap goes on sale that people just pick up because it's a few bucks. We've all been victim of it. Those that have Steam or have just an iOS or Android device sitting in their pocket.
Just a couple of bucks here and there is easy to spend, especially the $0.99 apps.
Well, many people have a backlog of crap they'll never get to -- me included in the PlayStation ecosystem and abundance of free games and sales on the service -- EA knows it has the arsenal to hand out more appealing games at a fraction of the price.
That's exactly what they're doing.
Over at the EA Origin homepage, a smarmy headline of "70% off Games You'll Actually Play" sits with a crapload of games on sale. The Sims 3, Mass Effect 3, Dragon Age 2, Mirror's Edge, Crysis 2, Bulletstorm, and more are just $5.99 or less.
Even better? Former IGN star Craig Harris, who now works at EA, was behind all of this.
What has two thumbs and is responsible for this “controversial” sale headline? #thisguy. http://t.co/UxFWazmbxX
