Thank you for your offer to relay the I formation, but I don't believe anything will come from it, as I believe it to be a conscious business decision on the part of EA.Įnd result: Irriversable break down of trust. I don't think I'll be purchasing any products through Origin (or Steam for that matter) as a result. If I'm going to buy something, I want to know the total cost of that item. I think I prefer my games installed on disks, the old fashioned way, where I had control over my own product that I purchased with my own hard earned money. Neither of which inspire confidence in EA. I don't agree with this practice as it is, at best, suspicious, at worst deliberate manipulation. There is no technical difficulty or reason for this Information not to be readily available, so my instincts tell me that this must a deliberate action / intent on the part of EA. I'm sure the illegal torrent sites would have this information immediately available in the same way torrents with legal content would have.

The way I'm understanding this, is that EA is acknowledging that the download size, in fact, is not available to its customers?ĭo thousands of customers hit the download button without any idea of what size the download size will be? Let me know if you have any further questions.

Now while that does not solve your request to list the size prior to purchase, it does always have the most up to date information available to those that own the game at the time they attempt to download and install it. You can both see the total download size, and the size required after the installation. Take a look here, this comes up when I attempt to install Mirror's Edge Catalyst:

So as a result, the download size fluctuates, meaning that we cannot just list a static number, but rather dynamically change it every time.įor this reason, we will actually show this information, but only after you have clicked on the download button. Now if you use Origin instead, the download size would be different if you try to download on release day, or 3 months later, after we have patched.

As soon as you connect to our servers, we will ask you to download the latest updates for the game in order to patch it. If you buy a disc, you get the most current version at the time and install that. Side note: this kinda thing is exactly why no animals are permitted in my house.I think the key information is that the download size isn't set in stone as it would be on a disc medium. but, EA, money hungry bloodsucking leeches they are, may think otherwise. Now, EA technically should provide you with a backup copy if your game is still under warranty. You abuse the privalege, you lose the privalege. It's unfortunate, but especially in the past 5 years or so, piracy rates have shot up with how easy the internet makes it, and thus, companies feel they have no other option.


The usual method is to put methods in place to prevent people from making any sort of copy, for legal use or not.

The problem there, though is how to prevent people from sharing their legal copies. It is, however, legal to make such a copy yourself, so long as you don't share it with anyone. Even if you legally own something, it's still illegal to download a pirate copy of it. Why would the developer care about you downloading one of the discs if you paid them for the game?quote>Īctually, it's not. This illegal DVD required a crack, but instead of using a crack, I inserted the original Play disc and everything works fine now. I once lost one of the four install discs of DRIV3R. As long as you don't share it but just download it. Originally posted by: Rubix Since you bought the CD's, I think it's legal to download the second CD via a torrent or so.
