Those of you buying physical games through Origin will soon have to embrace digital distribution or scope out another store - Origin will cease (https://www.origin.com/en-us/news/origin-is-all-digital) its offering of disc-based games on April 4, when it transitions to serving solely as a digital license storefront for PC and Mac.

If you're still set on buying discs, remember that this announcement is just for Origin, not EA's general distribution efforts. You'll presumably still be able to pick up physical copies of Dragon Age: Inquisition (http://joystiq.com/game/dragon-age-inquisition) and the next Mass Effect through other stores.
