[Origin] Third party games incoming!

[Reoh]

Looks like EA's Origin is really trying to tackle Steam head on here.

Millions have flocked to EA’s Origin since its launch earlier this year, largely due to the downloadable exclusivity of popular titles like Battlefield 3 and Star Wars: The Old Republic. But soon PC gamers may have other, non-EA reasons to install the Origin client, according to Gamasutra. “Initially, Origin is set up to deliver EA games, but very soon, we’ll be delivering third-party content to Origin,” said EA CFO Eric Brown at a UBS conference in London today.EA plans on using the more than 130 registered users it’s gathered over the years and its varied payment options as leverage to attract third-party game companies to the service.

Hope EA can get Origin to run better. I installed BFBC2 on it and played it once which was fine but the next time I tried it asked me to install it again,which I did, then it asked me again so I give up and went back to playing it through steam.
