While you will still be able to purchase disc copies of EA games at retail, a blog post explains that Origin itself will only offer digital copies for PC and Mac platforms."What does this mean for you? If you're among 99 percent of our users, absolutely nothing," it reads. "Your shopping experience hasn't changed one single bit."But if you're that 1 percent who still desires a physical collection, we want to let you know that Origin won't be able to fulfill that need beginning April 4th. We’ll still be here when you transition your gaming habits to the wonders of digital downloads."Digital is fast and convenient. Origin’s focus is to give gamers the best experience, and going all-digital will make that possible."
