Title: Origin client adding Twitch streaming
Post by: idolminds on Wednesday, November 07, 2012, 09:07:38 PM

Pretty neat (http://www.origin.com/us/news/whats-coming-in-the-next-origin-update).

Steaming has become a pretty big deal and it looks like EA wanted to get ahead of it. The Origin client will have built in support for streaming to Twitch. They are also adding in the ability to add and launch non-Origin games though Origin, but the added bonus is you can also stream those titles if you want.

This might be the first real "leg up" Origin has over Steam for a lot of users.

Nice, that should simplify the process for anyone wanting to get into streaming. Though the challenge for most will still be configuring the video quality so the computer can handle it while playing the game and that there's enough bandwidth to upload the content.
