EA sent out a press release announcing their Origin service is expanding further beyond its EA-exclusive origins to add games from 11 more publishers: REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Electronic Arts (EA) Inc. (NASDAQ:EA) announced today that Origin, EA's direct-to-consumer gaming platform, will soon feature PC downloadable games from Trion Worlds, Robot Entertainment and nine other game publishers. Starting today, Trion's MMORPG Rift is the first new title added to Origin for purchase and download by PC gamers, with many more titles coming soon.

“Origin is focused on providing choice to consumers and the games they play”

Additional titles from publishers CD PROJEKT RED, Freebird Games, Recoil Games, Autumn Games, 1C Company, inXile entertainment, Paradox Interactive, Core Learning Ltd. and N3V Games will be available on Origin in the coming months. “Origin is focused on providing choice to consumers and the games they play,” said Craig Rechenmacher, Vice President of Business Development and Marketing for Origin at EA. “From blockbuster franchises to high-quality independent titles, we’re bringing the industry’s best content to one place. We’re excited to welcome new partners and a diverse new line-up of titles to Origin today.” More information about individual titles and release dates will be available on www.origin.com.

Oh, sure, Origin is great.
On sunday morning my wife and me decided on a whim to join the SW:TOR crowd.
No problem, I already had the client downloaded a while ago in case I decide to get the game, so we just need to buy the game online if we want to play today, right?

Of course, you can buy it online only with fucking Origin.

Every other online shop, I'd have keys for me and my wife in about ten minutes, but no, not with Origin. My Order went through without a problem, I had my key right away, but my wife's?
First sign of trouble was that we were given a message that we'd get a confirmation that the order went through when it does, instead of a key.
So we waited, and waited, 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours. Nothing. So we call their support line and wait 20 minutes in line, just to be told that the order was "flagged for review", and they couldn't do anything, not even cancel it.

Yes, I love Origin, and it will be the online distribution service of choice for me from now on. *thumbs up*
