Beberapa jam lalu origin saya mengalami update yang cukup memakan waktu. Iseng apa yang berubah pada origin saya pun menggeledah fitur – fitur yang saya anggap baru. Dan ternyata pada origin store tersemat tab gift! Kalian bisa mengecek sendiri atau melihat tampilan gambar dibawah.
EA juga mengupdate website mereka untuk mengoptimalkan perubahan baru ini, tetapi sistem gifting masih mengalami beberapa kendala yang membuktikan mereka belum bisa mengumumkan fitur baru ini secara menyeluruh. yah kita berharap mereka dapat mengatasi kendala secepatnya.
Point penting fitur gift ini tidak jauh dari proses gifting yang terdapat pada Steam yang lebih dulu mendahuluinya, pilih game -> klik opsi “purchase as gift” -> dan gift ke temanmu yang membutuhkan, wkwk -> send it!
Apa saja yang baru dari update origin kali ini terungkap di pengumuman blog EA, kamu bisa melihatnya dibawah:

COOL. HOW DO I SEND A GIFT TO MY FRIEND?
It’s easy to send games and extra content to friends.
Here‘s how you can send a gift:
- Find the product you want to gift on the Origin store.
- Click the button pull-down menu.
- Select Purchase as a gift.
- Origin will bring up a list of friends you can send the gift to.
- If you do not see your friend in the list, try searching for them in the search bar.
- Follow the prompts to complete your purchase.
- Credit cards and Paypal are the only payment options for gifting games.
You can only send a gift to one friend at a time.
You can send a friend a higher edition of a game they already own. If you start to send them a lower (or the same) version by mistake, we’ll mark them as “Ineligible to receive.”
