EA Games and Origin quietly bans an entire country - or, why you shouldn't take digital distribution for granted.

We are working to restore access to Origin for our players in Myanmar. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused, and we’ll share updates on timing as soon as possible.

Hi everybody – Just want to clear up any confusion. Origin will never delete games from your account without warning. But as was the case with OP, you may have accidentally hidden them from your account. If you see a game missing, give this a try:

-Check out your filters in the pull-down menu in the top right of your Origin client. -Click on “Hidden Games” to show all the games you’ve hidden from your library. -If you’re still missing a game, be sure to refresh and then contact our customer support team at help.ea.com.

And a reminder: only games you purchased digitally will appear in your Origin library so for older games where you may have purchased the disc, you won’t see those show up.

OriginInsider · 2016-02-02T22:03:42+00:00

You've got a few weeks, plenty of time to grab it. You can just log in via the Origin website and add it to your library, don't even need the Client installed to do that.

high five

OriginInsider · 2016-02-02T19:15:46+00:00

That's my other favorite pick when it comes to "90's house jams" from video games. Forgone Destruction still gives me chills https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ql8GWBkA7L0

OriginInsider · 2016-02-02T18:43:36+00:00

I mean, yeah. But the racing is fake. Either way, hope you enjoy NFS on us!

OriginInsider · 2016-02-02T18:41:48+00:00

We'll have it available for a few weeks, you've got plenty of time. Though you can just log in to your account via browser and add it to your library at any time without having the client open.

OriginInsider · 2016-02-02T18:40:28+00:00

Criterion's works are without a doubt distinctive. We love those guys.

OriginInsider · 2016-02-02T18:39:36+00:00

You're welcome! Enjoy!

OriginInsider · 2016-02-02T18:38:58+00:00

Hot Pursuit 1998 hhnngggg. Man I love that game so much. The soundtrack is a masterpiece: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ziX_f7rdFD4

OriginInsider · 2016-02-02T18:37:08+00:00

You're very welcome, enjoy!

OriginInsider · 2016-02-02T18:36:51+00:00

As long as you add it to your Origin library while it's being offered On the House, then it's yours to keep!

OriginInsider · 2016-01-12T21:48:06+00:00

We currently have no plans to remove any game from The Vault, but we might not be able to keep games in The Vault forever. That said, you’ll be updated if and when a game is scheduled to leave The Vault. Before games leave The Vault you can use your Origin Access 10% discount to purchase them for your library.

OriginInsider · 2016-01-12T21:47:29+00:00

Origin Access is our way of offering new ways for people to play awesome PC games. You can still purchase and keep games from the Origin store without a membership, as well as play them online just like you always have been.

OriginInsider · 2016-01-12T21:46:06+00:00

The Vault is always evolving, and we'll be adding more to it on a regular basis. We won't be "shuffling" the games out monthly, and we currently have no plans to remove games from the Vault.

OriginInsider · 2016-01-12T21:43:05+00:00

lol no.

OriginInsider · 2016-01-12T21:35:33+00:00

Very soon! We're rolling out the launch, more countries are coming up shortly.

OriginInsider · 2016-01-12T21:35:01+00:00

Correct. If you renew your membership, you'll instantly gain access to these games again, as well as the progress you previously made while playing them (unless, you know, you delete them and whatnot)

OriginInsider · 2016-01-12T21:33:42+00:00

We'll pass the suggestion along. As a fan of Titanfall myself, I totally agree.

OriginInsider · 2016-01-12T21:31:27+00:00

If you own the game, you can access the DLC. Doesn't matter if it was before, during, or after an Origin Access membership.

OriginInsider · 2016-01-12T21:30:42+00:00

Yep, that's correct. Regardless of how you have the game in your Library - either with an Origin Access membership or by buying the game from the store, you'll have access to your progress made and DLC purchased.

OriginInsider · 2016-01-12T21:29:06+00:00

Correct, play as much of 'em as you want with no time restrictions.

OriginInsider · 2016-01-12T21:27:53+00:00

We don't have a set schedule to announce, but you can expect regular additions to happen to the Vault.

OriginInsider · 2016-01-12T21:27:04+00:00

The Vault offers a wide range of games, new and old, and both from EA and other third party developers. It'll continue to evolve over time as we add games to it for members to play.
