EA's Origin Adding Third-Party Content

After hosting EA games for PC, digital distribution service Origin will now start hosting other third-party titles.

Starting in November, Origin will now feature games from publishers such as Warner Brothers Interactive Entertainment, THQ, and Capcom, featuring upcoming titles such as Batman: Arkham City and Saint's Row: The Third.

Origin is often compared to Valve's online distribution service, Steam. However, according to EA Chief Operating Officer Peter Moore, Origin is not trying to be just another competitor.

“Origin is much more than simply being EA's answer to Steam,” Moore said.

More to come as later announcements are made.
