    Origin

    So I bought a digital copy of a game on origin but have waited several hours. Regulary on other sites digital copies take max 1 hour to get. What is the average wait time on origin?

    If its anything like steam, it should be the time it takes you to fully download the game.

    Is it different on Origin? Wouldn't put it pass EA to do something like that...

    I have not yet been able to download anything. AFAIK it is still processing the purchase.

    Origin is pretty bad in general. I suspect you'll be waiting a while, knowing their previous record.

    It's always been instant for me. You usually do have to close the program out completely and re-log in though.

    It takes them time to collect all that information about you and sell it to their advertisers. Just be patient, you'll get your game once they setup your targeted marketing profile.
    It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed, the hands acquire shakes, the shakes become a warning.

    You did something wrong. It's instant. Reload your Origin. If you don't have your Security questions set up, than it will take a while.
