Guess what EA?  Origin can go fuck itself and if you want to sell your classic games then you'll have to put them on other platforms instead of trying to keep them on a closed ecosystem.  Just think how many copies of Road Rash or Desert Strike they could have sold on the Wii VC in its heyday. 

If someone wrote "Nintendo can go fuck itself and if you want to sell your classic games then you'll have to put them on other platforms instead of trying to keep them on a closed ecosystem.", there would be many complaints. But it seems to be okay in this forum to rage about EA, Activision or Ubisoft anytime.

By the way, i got a lot of EA  classics outside of Origin:

EA is fair game because they aren't part of the big 3.  I'd rather play old console games on my TV (I use computer monitors for my PCs) rather than through my computer but that is just my personal taste.  There is no excuse for EA for not putting VC games on Nintendo's eshop.  If they don't want to do it then I'm not going to give them any money.  A person pissed off about Nintendo's closed ecosytem can say the same thing.  The difference is Nintendo is a console manufacturer and game developer.  EA is just a developer. 

I have Steam and I have Nintendo consoles.  I don't want to sign up for gog or origin.  Also, I don't see any retro console games on Steam from EA.  Pretty soon everything will be so fragmented that you'll have to have 200 programs just to play games.  What a promising future that will be.
