Electronic Arts has revealed its intentions to bring users of the iOS platform the Origin service that will affect the best games of the developer.
To summarize a bit, we could say that Origin is a kind of Open Feint only developed by EA. In this way, the games will have their own achievements, leaderboards, friend lists and will allow you to run other games without having to go out to springboard.
Another interesting feature of Origin is the online storage of our saved games and what is even better, this feature will be cross-platform. In this way, we can use a game from Origin on our iPhone, on Facebook or Android, remove it, and then return to the point where we were on any of the three platforms.
There are still some issues in the air that do not finish clarifying but the truth is that Origin looks great for users of the iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad. We will inform you when there is more information about it.

But that good !!!.
I say the same as with pc. Another program to fragment the sector and this one for more inri with its own achievements, etc.
The thing is that not even the games update them so that you read they incorporate them to unlock achievements in past games .. What about gameloft? It releases games and hardly ever releases updates to the game to incorporate more things.
Origin = open feint?
Origin is EA's digital sales platform for video game sales that has been active for months. I bought my Battlefield bad company 2 there. It's like Steam but exclusive to EA.
What the news says is that they will port the achievement and account control system.
It is that it is not known very well how to define Origin in iOS. Some have called it an Open Feint, others like an Xbox Live ... keep in mind that Apple has very strict rules when it comes to selling content outside the App Store ...
We will have to wait to see how this announcement evolves, which has left a lot in the air. All the best.
