    Agreed, but I can't complain too much when I'm getting a free game lol. Only other game I've gotten on Origin is BF3, back when it was 10 bucks.

    Thanks, I'll try that.

    can't even find a single $19.99 game on Origin to buy for free. it's not really organized in a way to let you browse by genre or any kind of logical organization.

    was considering buying some Dragon Age DLC, but turns out they don't even sell it on Origin

    I would be very surprised if they did. They would have to ban probably most of their users, and it's their own fault.
