EA has quietly terminated Origin's "On the House" program, which provided free games to everyone (including non-Access subscribers) on an intermittent, time-limited basis. While no official announcement was made, PC Gamer managed to reach a rep who could confirm the program was “retired.”
On the House debuted in 2014 with the most excellent survival-horror game Dead Space, and since then has made numerous other games, including Bejeweled, Battlefield 3, Theme Hospital, Syndicate, Peggle, and Dragon Age: Origins, free for the taking, without catches or take-backs. The games generally weren't EA's latest and greatest but free is free, and dated or not a lot of the games it offered were really quite good.
