The Origin servers are once again buckling under the pressure

Ever since the release of the Humble Origin Bundle yesterday, Electronic Arts' Origin service has been swamped with a flux of new users who were trying to get their games, and as of yet, the option to redeem a code is still unavailable.

EA's Origin service has had a troubled life as after more and more people started embracing it, it kept on experiencing technical issues, such as the disastrous SimCity launch earlier this year, when its servers buckled under the pressure.

Now, after the Humble Origin Bundle that saw lots of great games be offered for a low price, the service is once again experiencing problems, this time relating to the redeem process for a game code.

Basically, buyers of the bundle who tried to redeem the codes they received were met with loading screens and errors.

The company has posted a message on its Help page, apologizing for the problem and pledging to solve it as soon as possible.
