[ORIGIN] Up to 85% sale on FPS games - over

I always bought the prior year's version on x360/ps3. Stayed 1 year behind and never paid more than about $5 or $10 for the game. And since I don't have ps4/xbone I've spent $0 on them the last few years :)

Yeah, I heard only good things about that game and I was told that the campaign was exceptional ... and from what I saw I believe it :)

It doesn't sadly

I have a question - why should they? It would be the same case as Ubisoft games with your game requireing 2 launchers instead of one (every time you launch Ubi game on Steam it starts Uplay hence you have 2 background apps running instead of one)

There isn't any date for the end of the sale and they haven't mention it anywhere. Not even twitter.

EA gots a lot of bad rep ... some of it is justified, some of it isn't. Did you for example know that they are supporting indie devs and let them keep all the profits? EA is the only reason why games like Unravel were made.
Up to "refuse to provide good games for a while" I can just say that I totally disagree - Unravel, Apex Legends, A Way Out, Fe, Mirror's Edge 2, Battlefield 1 and many, many more are just recent examples of excelents games. A lot of games went out as buggy, but even Mass Effect: Andromeda is pretty amazing after the patches (and buggy launch doesn't mean a bad game - just remember Kingsdom Come or anything from Fallout or TES series)

And fpr Origins accounts getting deleted - I have literally heard the same thing about all online publishers from Bethesda, Steam or GoG to Epic games.

When it does, make sure you get the GOTY edition. It has all the content and is usually cheaper than even 1 DLC, and there is no DLC-only upgrade package if you buy the normal version. Also, you definitely need the Trespasser DLC, which has the real ending, and the setup for the next game. ;)

weird, I used paypall for both games with no issue. You may want to try to use different browser, that worked for me in the past

Origin Access is good for games that you will play for less than a month and then forget all about it.
But most of those games in the OP are the kind of games that you play for a long time, subscription service for them will milk more money out of you.
