This promotion/offer has now officially ended. Hope you got your games and if you didn't, I'm sorry. Game on.

NOTE: You need patience since support takes around 30-40 minutes to take your ticket.

Yes, I know this is steamgifts, but I also know you like free stuff. Origin or EA (don't know which in particular) is celebrating a one year anniversary or something like that, and they are giving away one out of three games for free. The games are: Dragon Age: Origins, Battlefield: Bad Company 2 and Spore.

The requisites to get the game are:

  • Own at least one origin game.
  • Have your account location set to US or Canada.

EA won't check your IP, so just by changing your location works. How do you do this? Head over to EA's site, click in your account name in the upper right corner, go to "My Account" and edit the regional settings.

Once you are done with this, head to the help section. Where it asks "WHAT GAME DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT?" you have to look for the game you want out of the three previously named, after you selected it, click "Contact Us".

Under the "WHAT TYPE OF ISSUE ARE YOU HAVING?" section you should see three boxes to complete, the first one with the name of the game, the second one titled "CATEGORY", where you should select "Technical support", and finally the one titled "PLATFORM", where you should select "PC". After doing this, click where it says "Live help" and wait until you get contacted by the support representative. You should tell him/her that a friend of you told you that they were giving away a game for the anniversary and you want to know if the promotion is still going on. If it is you'll be asked for some information to check your account and then you'll be asked which game you want and receive an origin redeemable key for the one you selected.

That's about it, enjoy.

tl;dr: If you want either spore, battlefield: bad company 2 or dragon age: origins for free read all the above. If you don't, then press control + F4.

stick with it. support may say 180+ minutes, but it goes on Microsoft time. sometimes it says 180 minutes, othertimes 20, then jumps back up to 90. on average, you're looking at 45-60 minutes.

No idea then. Probably the availability of live support depends on the time of the day.

I used BFBC2 and got in live chat. What game you're on is irrelevant to getting in.
