Coming Soon to EA's Origin Store: Third-Party Titles 88

First time accepted submitter RGDfleet writes with news snipped from Gamer Gaia, based on a report in GameSpot UK: "For around three months now EA's Origin store, previously known as the EA Store, has been providing digital copies of just about any EA title post-2009. In fact, Origin has been exclusively EA ever since its inception and has featured no games from other publishers. On top of this the service has restricted access of EA titles on competitor providers such as Steam, Battlefield 3 perhaps being the leading example. This week however, EA CFO Eric Brown confirmed that they intend to start bringing third party content to Origin."

    Zennyboy: Hello?
    Ackley:ok
    Ackley:Please specify your issue
    Zennyboy: I am English but live in Spain. I do not speak Spanish however. I am unable to make Origin web page 'go' into English whatever localization (in my profile, on the site) I select
    Zennyboy: It's apparently reading off my geolocation and selecting Spanish
    Zennyboy: And I cannot read a word of it
    Ackley:I would like to inform you that our store is region specific and it opens according to region

    Zennyboy: Oh
    Zennyboy: Useful
    Zennyboy: Really?
    Ackley:Yes
    Zennyboy: Will this change in the future? We move around a lot here...?
    Zennyboy: I cannot speak the language of every country I live in
    Ackley:As of now, we don't have any information regarding this.
    Zennyboy: Can this be put to someone else then? As if I go to France I cannot learn French for this site...
    Zennyboy: Hello?
    Ackley:Yes
    Ackley:There is no way to change the website to other language
    Ackley:None of the agent will be able to help you with this.
    Zennyboy: As long as EA realise ex-pat British / Germans / etc cannot use the site
