So basicly a free game from them?

[creativecoding]

Yep, or $20 off anything higher than $20.

[Utael]

well this is annoying, Origins website is slow as hell. Anyone else having this issue?

[KYA]

Origin is a cancer upon society. I have refused 10 dollar Battlefield 3 because of it.

What could be the reason they are willing to give games free of cost??

Is there any catch involved in this?

@KYA

That's the only downside, however after you install the game you can point Steam towards the game's executable and forget everything that has to do with Origin.


@raghav.naganathan

They're probably trying to boost Origin's popularity (through money - as usual). But there's no catch other than what you see in the original post.
