In what will likely be seen asthe nextin a series of decisions intended to confuse and anger PC gamers,Battlefield 3developer DICE has confirmed that the upcoming shooter will eschew the profile freedom the series has maintained for so long. In a recenttweet, DICE’s Daniel Mastros states that “your name is linked to your origin persona.”
Yesterday it was confirmed thatretail copies ofBattlefield 3will require Origin, and now the reason for that is just a little bit clearer. It’s safe to say that this also answers yesterdays question regarding other services like Direct2Drive: Yes, Origin is required. It seems PC gamers will be locked into the same profile restriction that console gamers have known for quite some time.
