So disappointed Origin i logged in after probs 2 years and 2 games are missing then i look at the origin Premier and was pretty keen on the sims 4 with expansions but yet again origin has disappointed. why pay so much for extra content when you cant even get the entire sims 4 like $20 a month is more then streaming services?! well ill give Apex Legends a go its their last life before i give up on any game on origin. #feelsbadman.

Nah, the Origin original is good enough for me. I have no problems with it. (Knock on wood)

I’m not sure if anything like this is offered on the non-premier version of Origin Access, but I would imagine canceling it would revoke your access to games downloaded through that service. If you have Sims 4, but not the addons the service provides it will probably auto-erase those from your game potentially making your save file unplayable. I’m not 100% on that, it hasn’t been fully explained to my knowledge but I am fairly certain cancelling the premier service will revoke premier edition content.

I’m sorry but this is probably the worst grab from EA yet. I don’t see any benefit to this, at all. It has none of the conveniences the normal subscription model’s have (primarily easy access over internet) as all games will have to be downloaded and installed on a PC/Mac.

If someone is interested in Sims 4, they should not sign up for this service. It is not a good deal. Save the $14.99/mo and just buy the games, and have full access to them. A years worth of this service is roughly $180, more than enough to purchase the base game and more addons than the service itself provides you. A week of early access is just not a good enough incentive, at least for Sims games. That should be standard for pre-order holders, but you know if you aren’t paying them a guaranteed $15/mo I guess they don’t see why they should offer any incentive to pre-order.

In all honesty, avoiding Origin will save Simmers even more money. EA is totally clueless.

._. i don’t… know why anyone would do this. i saw “premier” and crashed in here to be like “NEW CONTENT, TAKE MY MONEY”, but as usual it’s just EA repackaging stuff that’s already been made.

Who is this service for really? I don’t know if there’s a huge overlap between Simmers and “hardcore” gamers. Even if there were, you’d really need to be full into the Origin ecosystem to reap any real benefits.

Stuff packs and game packs cost $10 to $20 respectively. One month of Premier sets you back $15 so you’re better off purchasing those outright and having them in your library forever. You could buy one stuff pack one month and then the game pack the next. Expansion packs are a little more pricey at $40 so you’d need to save up for two months and a half to purchase the EP. However, you’d own the pack as opposed to borrowing it for those two months for the same price. This is not taking into account regional prices or sales. Game packs and expansion packs go on sale often enough that Premier does not make economical sense.

I’m assuming that “if you don’t already own these games, playing saves without an active membership will affect your saves going forward” means “no”, lol. If you cancel, you do not get to keep the content you got for joining premier. These types of services are about paying a monthly fee to play as many of the included games as you want instead of buying them individually, like having a Netflix membership instead of buying a bunch of DVDs. Once you cancel your Netflix membership, though, you don’t get to watch any more movies.

So, do you know what happens if you upgrade to premier membership and keep it say for a few months, can you cancel it at anytime? Do you get to keep the content that you got for joining premier, (say the packs its offering) once you cancel?

It’s not financially worth it for me, I already have those packs. I wonder how popular this will be.
