I had heard bad things about Origin and thought I would stick with Steam, Desura and GOG. But now, Origin is installed and I actually like the download client better than the ones from Steam and Desura, GOG is still the best though.
EA is good at marketing: they got me to install their client with a discount for US/Canada residents which was (mistakenly?) accessible to Europeans.
I have yet to buy a game on the platform for their plan to be successful.
