CD Projekt, Trion, Paradox, inXile, and Others Coming to Origin

We’ve always brought you word when major role-playing games hit Steam, so I thought it was important to point out that several publishers have signed on with EA to bring their titles to Origin, as well. The games aren’t available yet, but Trion Worlds will definitely be bringing Rift to the service and one would assume that CD Projekt RED will be bringing The Witcher series, inXile will be bringing The Bard’s Tale, and so on:
