Origin game client has subscription option

Electronic Arts Inc. the first to take a step to promote a subscription to the library of their games on PC / MAC *. The Origin game client features The Vault feature , which allows users to subscribe for 249 rubles a month and gain access to, at the moment, 15 games.



However, observing the "tradition" and despite the fact that the statement that full versions of the games will be available, this is only partly true. For example, Battlefield 4 is available in the "Exclusive Digital Edition" version and does not contain the add-ons or features of the full "Premium" version, other than the announced China Rising add-on. Full versions of the games may not be available.

Currently available:
Battlefield 4 ™ - Exclusive Digital Edition
Battlefield ™ Hardline - Exclusive Digital Edition
BATTLEFIELD 3 - Expanded Edition

Dragon Age ™: Inquisition - Exclusive Digital Edition
Dragon Age ™ II - Standard Edition
Dragon Age ™: Start Ultimate Edition

Dead Space ™ 3 - Standard Edition
Dead Space ™ 2 - Standard Edition
Dead Space ™ - Standard Edition

SimCity ™ Standard Edition
FIFA 15 - Standard Edition
Plants vs. Zombies ™ Garden Warfare - Standard Edition
Need for Speed ​​™ Rivals:
The Sims ™ 3 Complete Edition Starter Pack - Standard Edition
This War of Mine ™ - Standard Edition

In any case, the news is historical and marks an attempt by PC game manufacturers to switch to a subscription model specifically for the game library, as has long been common on consoles. We are waiting for answers from competing gaming clients, primarily from Steam.

* The list of games contains games supported on the MAC platform, and it is not entirely clear whether they are available by subscription.
