EA - Origin Payment Method (PaySafeCard)
Hey everyone, I think this is one of the best idea and probably one of the most requested idea's around here. As you all know People are having a hard time with origin (EA) for not using the Pay...

Yes...PaySafe..guud...
I f we could get a vote on that, above like 1000 people I think they'd look into it..
For now they think it's small fries...
Too bad that they do..
they oughta compare statistics with other game selling sites..
then they would know what they are missing out on..
but by then there'll probably be anew game site offering ALL payment options...
The first one to do that will be the winner..
For now Origin has revenue, so they're not concerned..would you be ? Profit coming in digital ? Why bother ?
Only when revenue goes down, will they be concerned with adding new payment options..
I think that stuff like buying digitally oughta be fixed on a worldwide server..
So that in case of a takeover and stuff like that people retain rights on the use of bought software..
That's also one of my concerns...
I'd hate to one day find out that all the software I bought (again, for the 5th time..lost my software through circumstances....)
would be inaccessible yet again...the last time I lost my stuff it was around 2500+ original software and dvd-movie titles..
(Yes...BIG FAT PAIN !!!!!..)
So now I'm not to sure to buy much software yet again...electronic sale would be hazard proof (fire/destruction/water/etc..)..
..but it's not proofed against account loss (whether by deletion, foreclosure of site or whatever digital disaster..)
Now hardcopy software (no...not downloaded and burnt on DVD, but actual store bought hardcopy..) is protected from digital
disaster but not from cataclysm (fire/water/theft/etc..)..so in any case..hardly proofed...
Only once a global server is started to protect people's rights to have acquired and retained rights of use on software,
will I probably try and buy lots of software for one more time...
Until that...I'd still hope for paysafe to keep me entertained..
(And SOO sorry for that long rant...)
UPDATE:
Now that there's actually a CARD (debetcard) available for this, I think you can use paysafe through the obtainable card..
ALthough this may not be possible for minors (<18 yrs) a lil help from mom or dad can get you there..
Since the upgrade is done via PAYSAFE vouchers and no attachment with banbkaccount is neccesary, it's easy for young ones to obtain..
It doesn't cost the pareents anything extra nor does it extend liability beyond the card itself..
Also..once the balance is gone it's just that...no bankfees..
Definitely usefull for children..
Laterz pplz..
(I now own 600+ games again on GOG so..yeah been buying stuff again..)
