Core gamers are causal and hard, and both hate Origin desu.
Copyright infringement is nothing more than civil disobedience to a bad set of laws. Lets renegotiate them.

No one ever liked you in the first place EA, don't be surprised no one wants to download your bloatware.

I can't stand Steam, but they're a lesser demon than Origin... EA's nothing more than a greed machine trying to maintain dominance over their software... Again. Greed bitches, that's all it is.
These greed idiots are trying to think long term, big pockets & they're f*king it up, Again. When the bottom falls out & this good idea bomb flies back around & explodes all the shit right back on them they'll go right back to the way things were. With a 10% increase on game prices of course.
Then the icing on the cake will be a hundred low end guys losing their jobs, but why should the mucky-mucks care about that so long as the beast gets fed, right.

My only problem with steam is that you need to be online to go into offline mode.

BF3/Origin = absolute worst pc game experience ever, EA tech support never could resolve my issue(s). Spent more time trying to fix the game than actually playing it,laggy,choppy,locking up, dropped connections gameplay with DX/punkbuster errors...that was WITH the crappy patches and re-installs...horrible....awful shite.I have 40+ other games that play just fine on my system,even with 3d.
Used to be a BF addict, I'll just go back to BF2142.

Origin is just a horrible experience. The software is buggy and laggy, and download speeds won't ax out my connection.
After formatting my PC I just can't be bothered putting origin on there to play BF3. If it was on steam on the other hand...

As far as I am concerned EA can consume all that is majestic in reference to all that is my manhood. Total & full consumption. After their implicit instructions to my ISP to shut me down for 'allegedly' downloading Crysis all the way back in April, I'll most certainly have nothing to do with their company other than to tout their names as everything negative & promote their software as prime fodder for thieves.
May the pirates render them complete eunuchs!
