You remember Origin, right? No, not the creators of Ultima and Wing Commander. The digital download software EA saddled you with! They really want you to keep Origin installed. You’ll do that for your old buddies at EA, right?
They’re giving you free stuff! When was the last time Steam ever did that? Tell me, please, about the last time Steam gave away a Criterion-developed Need for Speed game for free. Go ahead, I’m waiting. Oh, Steam never did that for you? Well hey, guess what! You can download 2012’s Need for Speed: Most Wanted for free on Origin! Right now! And you can keep it forever!
Look, I know you really wish you could consolidate your entire digital game library in one place. But now hear me out. What if that one place was Origin? That way EA wouldn’t have to pay anything to Valve! Look, they’re giving you Most Wanted. I know, maybe it’s not as good as Hot Pursuit was, but it’s still a solid driving game. They even gave you SimCity 2000 last year-it was the best SimCity!
So, I mean, maybe, if you could hold off uninstalling Origin for one more month, I know you won’t regret it. EA can make it up to you. You belong together. They’ll keep giving you gifts to prove their affection. Are you going to turn down free stuff just to please Gabe Newell? I think you know the right choice here.
