I can't find sim city 4 on origin. It just doesn't seem to pop up. Any idea why?

nope. didn't check that one

BR Supporter wrote on 10/14/2012 at 04:28am

I found it, its not on their search. You have to manually look through all their games to find it. Origin is stupid. You can also use the code multiple times if you delete your history and cookies and log out and back in.

The conspiracy theorist in me thinks this is some master plan for SecuRom to take over the world.

Origin installs secure rom on your computer?

Travis Admin wrote on 10/14/2012 at 03:30pm

Jdodson I think some Steam games still use it. *think*. I'm not 100% sure about that.

I've been avoiding Origin but... guess I'll use a free game as a test.

I think I might get a free game too. To test it out. Still haven't tried dragon age yet. From what I have seen, it looks like EA uses always on auth, which is similar to Steam.

Some games have secureROM but they are removing it or in the process.

Well crap. Apparently it was only working for a short time, because it tells me "invalid promo code" now.

This may have been a bug:

Too bad I/we missed this, free Dragon Age....

Tungsten Post Author wrote on 10/18/2012 at 01:27am

I will admit it makes me feel a bit... unethical. Like my old pirating days. I kind of pride myself on being pretty much on the up and up of late.

Wait, I got 3 free games that are legally mine so I feel fine now.

($20 bucks says that there's something burried in the EULA that could send me to federal prison. Does anyone ever read those things? I probably signed over my child or something when I installed)

Hahahaha, I bet since this was such a well publicised thing that they wont ding anyone and if they do I imagine all it will be is shutting off an account. :D

Funny thing is, I think Origin should basically give away some free games to get users, I was ready to sign up and try it out then it stopped. Not coming back now, I don't know if a .99 cent game would get me to sign up.
