Re: How do I gift an origin pc game purchase?

EA - Let us be honest here. It's time to introduce this feature. I am shocked that this feature has been ignored over and over. 

How long has it been now? Three, even four years now since Origin has been released? Yet a gift option has not been enabled. It really should not be hard to implement, ESPECIALLY on software that has many games and many users. I am baffled as to question why this implementation hasn't been added.

Also considering the economic value would be great for EA, buying games for others instead of them buying it on someone else. The fact of the matter is that  it would be much more easier than going to the store and giving the key to your friend.

Seriously, think about this EA. There is nothing to lose. 

Also, considering moving this to the Origin section rather than Battlefield 3. Seems much more convinient to do so.

    This is way stupid, even the answer from support. Buying a copy from retailer to gift? If we wanted to we'd already done it. I personally like digital distribution despite the need to download the whole game. That's something that contributed to me stopping me using ILLICIT copies of a video game. Steam is really amazing that way. And then there's also that genuine copies of video game are not easily found in my country. I saw a friend downloading a pirated copy of a game. The friend's birthday is close, and I wanted to purchase this game as a gift and have this friend create an Origin account. Tell you what? I'll let that friend use that pirated version. Less money for you EA.
