Affiliate programs stopped?

[MarkErikssen]

Dear Origin,

Last year I noticed that the Origin affiliate program at Rakuten Linkshare stopped. It was said by someone of Rakuten that it would return in October last year, but it didn't. The affiliate program at Tradedoubler also stopped quite recently. We haven't got any information about future opportunities or why the affiliating has stopped. Several prominent and popular Sims fansites were using affiliating to keep their sites running. We would like to know about the future of Origin affiliating. Are there possibilities to continue? We support EA/Origin through this. 

Thank you for answering!

Kind regards,

Markus

Hi there,

I'm sorry for the late reply!

I'm not sure if we still have any affiliate programs going on. I will chase this up for you and get back to you once I have an update.

Hey Tom, 

Thank you for replying! Could you tell us about EA's plans for affiliating in the future?

I'm still waiting for final confirmation about its current and future status. I will update you when the information has been forwarded to me

[MarkErikssen]

Alright, will wait for it!

Any update on this?

@MarkErikssen

So there have been updates, but nothing that I can share yet. Our team is still chasing up some final details and I should be able to get back to you soon.

I'm sorry that it's taking so long to chase up the answer for you. But thanks for sticking with me!

p.s. I will be moving your post to the new General Discussion forums:
