Electronic Arts reported its quarterly earnings on Friday and it appears that their new digital distribution platform Origin is doing very well.
The platform has 9.3 million registered users, almost 25 percent of large rival Steam, which was established well before Origins launched in May.
To date, Origin has generated "over $100 million in non-GAAP revenue since launch," read the report.
Into the future, Origin has signed 11 more publishers, including Trion, CD Projekt Red, Paradox Interactive and Robot Entertainment, so revenue and subscriber base should increase exponentially.
Finally, the upcoming blockbuster Mass Effect 3 will have an Origin requirement, meaning you can't activate the game without signing into Origin. Steam will not be getting the game.
