Once claimed, it's yours. Dunno for how long. Is this a thing with Origin? Like Games with Gold on XBox? Haven't signed into Origin in forever (2012?)

Yes, EA has been doing this "On the house" thing for some time now. They've been putting mostly old games on there and it's a genuine "claim once keep forever" deal.

Through On The House I've picked up several games that I never would have bought. Looking at Origin, Steam, and GOG game lists, as well as my bookshelf, I think I am a game collector more than a game player.

Oh, I can go for some old-school shooter right now :) thanks for the heads-up

Origin remains a terrific non-investment. I haven't given a penny to EA yet have more than a dozen titles to show for it. :D

I know and feel your pain. And that's without counting books/animu/whatever, too. :(

The sad thing is that I've collected most of these but have yet to actually play nearly any of them. I keep forgetting Origin exists when I go looking for something new to play...
