EA just EA'd

While unfortunate, expecting anything but this would be stupid. Origin has never experienced load anything remotely like this before, so it is to be expected that problems will occur. Ever played WoW right after an expansion release (TBC or WotLK anyways)? No one has, because the servers experienced unusual load and crashed.

Were you around when you could get any game that was $20 or under free on Origin using a certain code? Because both the Origin website and and the Origin client were slow as molasses. I dunno, this Humble Bundle may have beaten out the coupon ordeal.

Yeah I was there, didn't use the code though, and only one of my friends actually did as far as I know. Compared to this where mostly all my friends buy the humble bundle. Not a lot of people are actually interested in Origin and their offers, however thousands and thousands keep updated with Humble. :)

Does the "top agent" refer to the entry level programmer that they just pulled out of his/her first course in programming? With how often origin takes a dump on itself you have to wonder whos behind the scenes trying to get that ******* software to even run.

Still. they have generated over $2,000,000 for charity. Absolutely obliterates their donation for that run that Linus mentioned on the WAN Show. Also, you can download most on steam.
