Origin Offering Deep Discount Sales in UK Despite Comments To The Contrary

[News Portal]

It wasn't too long ago that the head of Origin denounced deep discount Steam sales as cheapening to intellectual property and that they would never take part. So why is Origin selling Dragon Age: Origins for a cheap-as-chips £5, discounted from £40? Other enormous discounts include Darksiders, Battlefield: Bad Company and Batman: Arkham Asylum. Unfortunately, no sale prices show up on the Australian store, so we are unable to confirm whether the sale is worldwide.
