The UK is becoming more and more like the US anyway, which is why I hate it, never mind the EU.
But anyway this Origins thing sucks, the deals aren't competing with Steam what so ever and there forgetting everyone but America and Canada.
There's no way I'm paying £10-£20 for 3-10 year old games. I'd be willing to spend $5 but I'm left out on that deal.
I kinda want to play Spore even with its bad reviews, as well as the Sims just to revisit my child hood. I can't actually find the original Sims on there though even without this deal, just some of its expansion packs which are £10 each, and Spore is £20 too.
Guess I'll have to go without playing or pirate them. Your loss EA.
