EA wants to go it alone for the upcoming release of MMO Star Wars: The Old Republic. They've decided that for the game's release they're going to offer it as a digital download only through their exclusive and new EA 'Origin' service, snubbing other platforms such as Direct2Drive and Steam.

Electronic Arts is to relaunch its EA Store download service as Origin, offering direct to consumer titles including forthcoming MMO Star Wars: The Old Republic as a digital exclusive.

Central to the rebooted service are new social and sharing features, as well as offering limited edition content for EA and EA Partners titles.
