Origin (ранее EA Store) — система цифровой дистрибуции компании Electronic Arts,
которая позволяет пользователям приобретать компьютерные игры через Интернет и загружать их с помощью клиента Origin (ранее EA Download Manager, EA Downloader и EA Link). 3 июня 2011 EA Store был переименован в Origin.
В Origin используются социальные функции, такие как управление профилем, общение с друзьями в чате и во время игры с помощью внутриигрового приложения, интеграция с Facebook, Xbox Live и PlayStation Network. Предполагается довести Origin до состояния конкурентоспособности с её основным соперником путём добавления автообновления игр, хранения сохранений на сервере, достижений, наград и кросс-платформенной игры.
Пользователи Origin идентифицируются по объединённому аккаунту Origin, который заменяет аккаунт EA и может быть удалён, если не использовался в течение 24 месяцев.
To manually uninstall Origin, you will need to edit your system registry and remove the folders in a two-part process. This will remove all traces of Origin from your system.
