Not surprisingly, Origin and Steam both want you to play the games offered on their platforms – so why is this news?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Origin Access<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Origin has launched “Origin Access Premier”, which is the more premium version of their still available “Origin Access Basic”. So what’s the difference? We thought you’d ask.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The general consensus seems to be that if you see yourself purchasing two or more titles from EA (on PC) per year, this makes sense. One potential deal-breaker is that once you stop the subscription, the titles become unavailable to you unless you’ve utilised that 10% discount to buy it outright.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A monthly subscription could be a better fit for those who go hard at a particular game for a few weeks and then are unlikely to play it again because you’re busy with other titles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steam Flash Sales are coming back?!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Numerous sources over the last few days are reporting rumours that they’re returning, last seen some time in 2016 before Valve put an end to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reportedly there is a slight twist to it, game developers can opt for the sale to last 6, 8, 10, or 12 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
