I don't know, if you have over 500 games, why not use more covers instead of copying some of them 4-5 times. I noticed that right away and I don't look for stuff like that.
As for Origin, I'm not completely against it, but as a store I still find it clunky.
"Prepare for the most expensive gaming experience" Hahahaha.
[SUB][SUP]I know what he said[/SUP][/SUB]
I only use Origin for games that require it, so right now BF3 and Mass Effect 3, and come next February, SimCity.
Steam I use for everything else.
[QUOTE=Malos;37487324]Really, with most customer support, it depends on who you get. I've heard good and bad stories from both ends. It's just, with EA, people focus a lot more on the bad stuff because of some other things they've done, such as DRM and the destruction of beloved companies (Westwood, Pandemic).
As for the Steam vs. Origin argument, I think people are worrying more about the entire idea of Origin rather than the actual program. I mean, another digital distribution network when you already have Steam? It seems rather pointless if you think about it, although I know where EA was going with that.
That doesn't sound normal at all. Steam works perfectly for me. Are you sure there isn't an underlying issue?[/QUOTE]
There shouldn't be since its happened on 3 different computers. Steam is clunky as fuck, and it took EA to actually show me that :v:

[QUOTE=Gordon Frohm;37487794]the "however they please" part is most definitely wrong
and the other stuff you or any of us couldn't possibly know, because we don't know what it says in the contracts EA has with Valve[/QUOTE]
Its the EA partner's program, look it up. Anyone signed under it, (Including Crytek), has the same contract.

aka the entire reason why Origin is so 'big'

simcity is going to be origin exclusive? oh man that sucks
Can we just at least say we don't like Origin because we don't like EA or because you just want to use one service, seriously that's why people hate it, the horrible excuses in here aren't believable at all. Is it that hard to say you don't like Origin for the real reason? come on
I don't like Origin either but it's because I just want to have 1 service and I don't like EA but I'm not going to pretend to hate the stuff Origin does which is the same stuff Steam did to get big.

Just to reiterate what others have said here are the store pages for some Valve games. Origin isn't just the download client.

I don't know who to blame. The gamers or the service providers. People are just as confused about Origin as they are about GFWL. People even believe huge misconceptions about Steam. People still think a VAC ban means you lose access to your Steam account.

I want to know how L4D and such work when you buy them. I know you're getting a physical copy, but is it still gonna be steamworks?
It seems counter productive for EA to sell over origin a game that only runs on steam.
[QUOTE=The Vman;37490394]but is it still gonna be steamworks?[/QUOTE]
You can't activate Valve games anywhere else.
I fucking hate Origin.
[QUOTE=Malos;37484690]I bet you 10 bucks that half of those were forced to use it because you can't play certain games without it.[/QUOTE]
and thats like saying users aren't forced to use steam to play valve games and other titles
If they have inbuilt broadcasting it will be a nice option.
Honestly, I DO like Origin. i hope we have some more players for Digital Dist. We might see all of them providing more features and better service.
[QUOTE=Rastadogg5;37485493]"Find exclusive content only available here"
Yeah because you wont let that content be anywhere else you fuckwits.[/QUOTE]
Exclusivity is only bad if a company I don't like does it.

Its so fucking pathetic that companys disable youtube comments.
If I was the scummiest fucking company in the world and then made some dumbass commerical and put it on youtube I would not disable comments regardless of how shitty of a CEO I am and company I ran.
Because I would be to busy worrying about my private jet and island estate.

It's so it stops people from immediately judging their video at first glance, just so they're forced to watch the horror all (half) the way through.

Welcome...to Facepunch (Jurassic Park Theme)
All this with just a single origin account? I've had a single steam account since the dawn of time. Why is that a selling point? I don't have to create multiple accounts on any other service i use
