Origin Acquires Seven More Publishers

[Shawn Zipay]

Hot on the heels of EA picking up a number of publishers last month, the company continues to grow its Origin offerings with even more publishers joining the service.

It was revealed today that seven additional publishers are being added including Remedy Entertainment (Alan Wake), Focus Home Interactive, Iceberg Interactive (APB Reloaded), Strategy First, Macro Games, Selectsoft, and Legendo Entertainment.

"The momentum that we’ve achieved with Origin since launching in June has been incredible, buoyed by great games and great partners," said Origin senior VP David DeMartini in the announcement. "Our fast-growing user base demonstrates the interest from gamers across the world in fully-connected, 365-day digital game experiences. We're committed to evolving and expanding Origin to help players get the absolute most out of their games, and we’re just getting started."

But I was a firm believer in "Not caring what EA was doing with Origin because if it gets my BF3 Im happy so Fuck you the Escapist!" and even started a thread with me saying something similar at the beginning of it!
