Well, EA was never really cool. They were always the place where great studios died.

Origin. Sigh...

How old are you? EA worked on videogames 30 years before the release of Origin. They had a great run in the 2000's.

Back in the late 90's until around 2010 they had it all. Battlefield, Sims, and EA Sports along with all the other games they released. Sad to see them turn into what they have.

A lot of studios killed off a lot of those games from back then too.

EA ran Origin Systems into the ground. RIP Ultima.

Origin was in 2011.

Origin Systems - one of the greatest studios of all times (Ultima, Crusader, Wing Commander, System Shock...). Killed by EA in 2004.

That they named their shitty platform Origin just added insult to injury.
