My desire to not have origin on my pc surpasses my desire to play some computer games. I don't think that is an extraordinary stance. Suppose I'll wait for the eventual PS4 port.
"ME will never come to the ps3 guys, MS owns it!"
Origin doesn't bother me whatsoever. In fact, I mostly like it more than Steam since it's not a bloated piece of shit. Steam sales are great and all, but it seems like the software has mostly stagnated for years. Origin just get's out of the way.
origin doesn't bother me, rushed out broken half finished games bother me
Old.... News?
Who would have ever guessed 10 years ago that console warrior mentality would extend to online stores and services?

EA financial exec Blake Jorgensen has now stated categorically that, Its exclusive only, for the life of the title, on Xbox One, and Xbox 360, and PC.
Well titanfall is a MP online only game. It will have limited shelf life anyway. Being on Steam wouldn't extend that.I have no problem with the Origin application, I just don't trust EA with my digital content. Valve has gained my trust over the years, and in return I run 95% of my digital content through Steam.

It wouldn't be a good antithesis at all, considering that Counter Strike is published by Valve. CS also allows players to buy servers which Titanfall doesn't allow. Even if Titanfall was on Steam, EA still decides how long the servers stay online.Just passing by, but the Counter Strike games might be a good antithesis to this notion.

Yep, in the trilogy collection. EA probably renegotiated the deal. No reason for MS to be difficult either, considering it was 1 very old game and they wanted to stay friends for future deals.EDIT: Wait, Mass Effect 1 did come out on the PS3?
Well, I feel stupid.
For all those saying they're not buying it because it's on origin I'm calling bullshit. You either had no intention of buying it before or you'll STILL buy the game.
Origin exclusive games have still sold well, even those that released broken (BF4).
Origin is great, download speeds are fantastic, never once had a problem with it.
I'm more confused as to why one can purchase Titanfall through uPlay. Wouldn't that require both Origin and uPlay running in tandem?
People are seriously not buying the game because of Origin?
Man, if that's a deal-breaker how spoiled are we.

The irony of demanding a Steam release because buyers don't want their money to go toward a big company or DRM isn't lost on most of us.

Dat strawman.
Nevermind the completely different setup and priorities of the two companies.
Valve's no angel, they've fucked up in the past, but they do have a long history of doing right by their consumers for the most part. EA...not so much.

Titanfall is no Mass Effect though, it would make no sense for EA to port it very late into the cycle.
Considering the demand I've observed is specifically for a Steam version of the game, rather than a DRM-free or direct-sale version of the PC release, I don't concede that my comment is anything approaching a straw-man point.

It's actually a pretty similar situation.
ME was never ported to the PS3, Microsoft published it.
It's sequels came to the PS3 because EA published it.
Titanfall won't come to the PS4/PS3 because Microsoft bought exclusivity for the first game.
EDIT: Wait, Mass Effect 1 did come out on the PS3?
Well, I feel stupid.
You do know that official sources have said that Titanfall will never be on another console? Do you think they were lying? The general consensus is you'll be waiting for the sequel.
lol @ gamers being okay with valve taking a cut of everything

Because the game itself isn't going against my interests. Supporting Origin itself is.So how come you dont object to the game itself, which is funded and published by EA, why do you draw the line at it being available only in their online store? If you disapprove of EA so much, maybe you should just boycott the game altogether.
The demand you've observed is simply you making up generalized arguments for those people you disagree with. Hence, strawmanning.
