Sounds like they are turning Origin into Uplay.
Service is great, but customers can't benefit from it as it has dreadful pricing policies. I remember there was a joke how Steam was having Christmas sales and EA offered a discount for last year's Fifa game...
All those great origin acheevsI wouldn't worry guys, they didn't even finish their last plan for Origin before pretending they had never laid it out for us to see.
Steam never gave out 20 games for free though.
"It's someone who greets you at the door and ushers you in to where you want to go and points you in the direction of your friends so that you can go and party with them together. That's really how we see it."
I have a bridge to sell you.EA seem to be trying really hard to be a more customer-focused organisation. People should give them a chance. Everybody can change.
Because it's not Steam.

Origin is like the anti-VISA: It's nowhere where I want to be.

Have not purchased an EA game in years and will continue not to buy EA games.
wutAre you a single console Wii-U kinda guy by any chance?
If EA and Microsoft keep their friendship going, I could see Origin replacing GFWL.
It would be pretty great to have different virtual storefronts in consoles.
Of course this is just their new shitty new DRM system.
I'm not liking the sound of this. Origin has done nothing but create a rift for some players that want to buy some EA games but have to put up with an incompetent client. EA thinks they have some pull here when they don't. Do what Ubi does and put your games on Steam and use your base app from there. This kind of stuff makes me not want to buy any more EA games. Especially on PC.
It seems that EA have finally realised that they can't have a successful and growing online distribution platform if they only offer their own titles.

so they're spreading their origin virus to the consoles too. seems like they're actively campaigning to win the vote for worst company in america for a 3rd year straight.
Gamesindustry.biz said:"I want to re-iterate, it's very important for people to understand that we don't expect that all of a sudden people are going to get up and go 'Oh! Great! We now love Origin!'"
"I am not so naïve as to believe we will change that perception quickly.
Origin as a software has worked so much better for me than Steam in any way, it's hard to take the comments in this thread serious.
See the rest of the thread for evidence...
I've got no beef with EA personally, so no strong feelings about Origin, but is it not just slightly possible that whatever they do will be a good thing?! The noises coming out of EA since the change in leadership have been fairly positive I think. Obviously the proof is in the pudding but I get the impression EA knows it has work to do on its reputation with gamers, and the above quote underlines that.
Maybe instead they should think about sorting their security and stop accounts getting hacked all the time. Or even addressing the issue at all.
Is it still spyware or did all the negative press finally force them to stop rummaging through people's computers?
