Origin 4X Take-Two Interactive Multiplayer Sid Meier

Origin is a digital distribution platform developed by Electronic Arts. It offers mainly online gaming service and digital rights management (DRM). Origin allows its users to purchase games via the internet for PC and mobile platforms and then download them with the Origin client. It also features many social options, like profile management, networking with friends on chat, and direct game joining (along with the in-game overlay). Another cool option is streaming via TwitchTV, sharing of game library and community integration with networking sites (Facebook, Xbox Live, PlayStation Network, etc.). Electronic Arts wants Origin to match its leading competitor, Steam by adding many new features, rewards, and cross-platform releases. Origin also allows its users to browse and purchase games for full price from Electronic Arts' catalogs. Instead of receiving a box, disc, or even an activation code, the purchased software is immediately (and permanently) attached to the user's account and can be downloaded with the corresponding Origin client. EA Downloader was launched in late 2005. After many changes, it was reopened under the Origin name on June 3, 2011. Currently, Origin has over 50 million registered users.

Originally known as a “mine” of classic games (hence the name Good Old Games) it eventually began selling more recent titles in 2012. The initial goal was to release classic games to a modern audience without DRM restrictions. Since then, GOG.com announced deals with many major publishers (Ubisoft, Disney Interactive) and radically expanded their stock. The digital goods (video games and movies) offered on GOG.com are distributed without digital rights management and can be purchased (and downloaded) online. Along with said games and films, customers are also able to download various extras, relating to video games they purchased. These extra materials often include soundtracks, wallpapers, manuals, avatars, and special in-game content. GOG.com also offers full customer support (for all purchases) and a 30-day refund guarantee.
