EA’s plan to demand Origin accounts for Battlefield 3 access doesn’t seem to have worked out as they planned.
Battlefield 3 was a massive, massive launch, with 5 million copies sold in the first week. While the majority of players were able to get into the game fairly easily, a significant number reported major problems with EA’s Origin service. One report I read had nearly 30 steps taken by the player just to fire the game up for the first time. These problems seem to have fallen mostly on PC gamers, though console owners did have a bit of issue with crashing Origin servers blocking new registrations.
EA’s plan, of course, was to loop new players into their proprietary Origin system. Why let Steam take some of your profits when you can force players into another system, especially when you know they’re going to buy your game regardless of the hassle? Naturally, some players were very unhappy about the requirement, which once again unfairly impacts those that game on their computers.
It didn’t take long before a group of hackers, known collectively as Razor1911, hacked the BF3 client and removed the Origin requirements from online play. If you want to play Battlefield but don’t want to deal with Origin, it’s now a possibility – though EA will likely kill the functionality as quickly as they can.
The crack is not engineered to give players a free copy of the game, and works only on retail copies purchased legitimately from an online or brick and mortar shop. Here’s a statement from Razor1911:
“This release is dedicated to our fans worldwide who bought this game on legal way and don't want to install the trojan from Electronic Arts to play online.”
As a console gamer, I could care less about having an Origin account. I don’t have to suffer through using a browser to access the game, nor do I have to run some garbage program in the background just to play my favorite titles. I talked a bit about how annoying the Origin setup was in my PoV piece earlier in the week, but it’s been pretty smooth sailing for us console players so far.
But if you’re a PC gamer and you’re fed up with Origin’s ridiculous EULA or computer-bombing capabilities, it looks like the solution is out there. Just don’t be surprised if you end up with some sort of disciplinary action – EA will probably come down hard on hackers in the hopes of sending a message.

Nintendo's making sure that there will be enough software to go around for the Wii U this time around. To do this, the company has been approaching third party companies.
We've had Bethesda already imply support for the console, as well as a Skyrim port, as well as rumors of Capcom bringing Asura's Wrath to it as well. The latest to get on board, though, is Electronic Arts.
Now, although subsidiary company EA DICE has previously stated that they are not interested in the as of yet, it appears that the mother company actually is.
Speaking to Reuters, Peter Moore was quoted as saying that they are, in fact, very much impressed with Nintendo's new console, and as such, will be committed to bringing their key franchises on board.
"There are no indications that there's anything that feels like it's off target," said Moore. "From our perspective right now, specs are a big deal. No one thinks it's going to replace an iPad 2 but it is playing into what a consumer feels comfortable with."
And then comes the expression of commitment for Nintendo's Wii U: "In the past, publishers have backed away from dedicating too much content to Nintendo platforms, since the Japanese company tended to use its consoles to push its own software titles. But make no mistake, EA is on board with the Wii U. Our teams are working on it around the world. Our key franchises will be there. We've made that commitment to Nintendo."
If that's the case, then it should be all good for Nintendo. It's about time they widen their avenues for software, so that more consumers will be enticed to get the Wii U. Not to say that their first party titles aren't good enough, but hey, diversity and variety is always good.

Digital distribution is undoubtedly set to overtake physical game copies. However, that is not to say that the two cannot share a spot under the same sky.
EA's CFO Eric Brown pretty much shares the same observation, expressing that he believes traditional retail outlets will remain to play an integral play in the market, at least for the "foreseeable future."
His statement was made during a presentation to investors and analysts alike, which took place earlier this week at the Goldman Sachs Communacopia Conference.
Said Brown, "You need a retail partner to stock the consoles. I don't see all consoles being ordered via mail. There's going to be people that go in and want to see the display, the form factors, etc."
He then went on to cite the example of Sony and how they went wrong with the PSPgo. Sony's much-hyped handheld basically went stale, simply because it went all digital, totally foregoing the option of a physical media.
"If you were toc ompletely eliminate physical distribution of the disc," explained Brown, "the margin opportunity is lost in the entire category. To the retailer, holistically it radically alters their view of the cateogry. So it's for that reason that I just don't see in the foreseeable future a complete shift to digital gaming delivery."
Much discussion has been made on this particular evolution in the gaming industry, but at this point, I would have to agree with Brown. Despite people being all digitally attached, there still remains that compulsion, that desire, to have a product in physical form. Not to make it too philosophical, but I guess it has something to do with physical possession that re-affirms ownership of an item.
It should be a good while before people fully divest themselves of their need to obtain physical copies of their games or movies, even music. They may be at a downturn, but I don't think media in its physical form will ever disappear.
Electronic Arts themselves recently went full throttle in their digital campaign, opening up their EA Origins. They even got involved in this "mild" tussle with leading online distributor, Steam, over distribution of their games.
