EA Gunning for Steam with Origin Service EA Games has announced that its plans for the Origin service, include making it better than all other digital download platforms: including Valve’s long standing Steam. Previously head of Valve, Gabe Newell, has criticised Origin, saying that as of yet, the service has yet to really do anything new. Vice president of global ecommerce David DeMartini at EA said that it was simply good Origin was being talked about in the same vein as Steam. “If MySpace had stayed the one answer in social networking and no one switched to Facebook, then we’d all be stuck on MySpace right now and we wouldn’t have had the Facebook phenomenon,” he told MCV. “There are better mousetraps that ultimately get built out of this innovation and the only way you get to the innovation is to have other people try and do a better version of what someone has previously done. And that’s what we’re attempting to do on Origin. “Gabe was quick to point out in the first time he ever spoke about Origin publicly that he didn’t think we’d achieved that yet. I would agree with that – we’re on a path of constant improvement. I didn’t expect to be able to out-feature Steam within the first 12 months. But I’m quite optimistic we will differentiate ourselves as a service. We’ve built the foundation and now we are starting to add value to the service off of that foundation.” Ea’s platform has made a few changes recently, the most obvious of which was the introduction of price drop sales. This was something it had initially criticised Steam for, showing a complete about face when the cost of many titles began bottoming out. To really compete with Steam though, EA will have to massively increase the library of games available. There are thousands of Valve’s platform and it’s very well established, dethroning it will be a tough one. Source: MCVUK

EA Gunning do Gaile le Seirbhís Origin Cluichí EA fhógair go n-áiríonn a phleananna don tseirbhís Origin, rud a chiallaíonn sé níos fearr ná gach ardán íoslódáil digiteacha eile: lena n-áirítear Gaile comhla sheasamh fada. Roimhe seo cáinte ceann comhla, Gabe Newell, Origin, ag rá gur mar go fóill, tá an tseirbhís go fóill a dhéanamh i ndáiríre aon rud nua. Leas-Uachtarán na domhanda ríomhthráchtáil David DeMartini ag an EA dúirt sé go raibh sé ach Origin maith á Labhair faoi sa vein céanna Gaile. "Má bhí fhan MySpace an freagra amháin i líonrú sóisialta agus gan aon duine a aistrigh go Facebook, ansin gur mhaith linn a bheith ligthe ar fad ar cheart MySpace anois agus ní ba mhaith linn go raibh an feiniméan Facebook," a dúirt sé MCV. "Tá mousetraps níos fearr a fháil ar deireadh thiar tógtha amach as an nuálaíocht agus is é an t-aon bhealach a gheobhaidh tú leis an nuálaíocht a bheith acu le daoine eile iarracht a dhéanamh ar leagan níos fearr ar cad duine éigin tar éis a rinneadh roimhe sin. Agus sin cad tá muid ag iarraidh a dhéanamh ar Bhunaidh. "Bhí Gabe mear chun pointe amach an chéad uair a labhair sé riamh faoi Origin go poiblí nach raibh sé ag smaoineamh ar mhaith bainte amach againn go fóill. Ba mhaith liom aontú leis sin - tá muid ar chonair na feabhsú leanúnach. Ní raibh mé ag súil a bheith in ann as-gné Gaile laistigh de na chéad 12 mhí. Ach tá mé go leor dóchasach go mbeidh muid ag idirdhealú a dhéanamh dúinn féin mar sheirbhís. Táimid tar éis tógtha an dúshraith agus anois táimid ag tosú chun luach a chur leis an tseirbhís amach na fondúireachta. " Tá ardán ea atá déanta roinnt athruithe le déanaí, an chuid is mó soiléire a bhí le tabhairt isteach díolacháin titim praghsanna. Ba é an rud é go raibh cáineadh ar dtús Gaile do, rud a léiríonn iomlán maidir aghaidh nuair a thosaigh an costas teidil go leor bottoming amach. Chun dul san iomaíocht i ndáiríre le Gaile áfach, beidh EA a mhéadú massively an leabharlann na cluichí ar fáil. Tá na mílte ardán comhla agus tá sé an-bunaithe go maith, dethroning beidh sé a bheith ina cheann diana. Foinse: MCVUK
