‘Origin’ on Wii U should work the same as it does on PS360
“What we added to our Privacy Policy for Wii U players is very nearly the same as existing terms for Xbox Live and PlayStation 3 users concerning the need to register for an Origin account if you want to play EA games with online features and content. That’s no different than the user experience of the past several years of Internet-connected game consoles and online services for games. To play the online features of our games, users need to create a user ID and account with EA. Since Origin was launched in June 2011, creating an EA account means you are creating an Origin account.” – EA Senior Director of Corporate Communications John Reseburg
This is somewhat in response to that Terms of Service change we read about a while back, but it’s also just a clarification from EA: Their goal for Origin on Wii U is the same as on other systems, and we should expect no more nor less.
