I've been searching all over Origin and can't find a gifting system. Is this not a thing?

Yeh what the guy above me said a friend  gifted me titanfall by buying it through gamestop which gives you an origin key. Although i wouldnt reccomend gamestop as they make you download there version of Origin/steam.

It has already been stated but you can buy origin keys from Amazon, Impulsedriven, greenmangaming, gamersgate or Gamefly. Gamersgate will give you 20% back in blue coins (their equivalent of steam wallet) for titanfall

Yeah, they need to Add one ASAP, I think you can buy keys off websites and send em to people is the easiest way, or use steam...but that's been going downhill recently to. I think even uplay has a gifting system

As I get older I get angrier more cynical, meaner. I feel some warning posts coming. I feel a ban coming. I was warned.
