Five million people use EA Origin daily

And it offers “much more” than Steam

[MOnk]

Yeah that probably had NOTHING to do with those 8 million people playing the BF3 beta, nothing at all.

Also just because it's open and running on your PC doesn't really mean you are using it.

If you don't give people any other choice than to run the program, what are you expecting?

I uninstalled Origin after the beta.

How are the graphics on low? I've heard people say it's the same as the console version and not ugly at all. Instead, low is pretty, medium is prettier, high is even prettier and ultra is spectacular. I'm tired of low settings that simply make the game look like ass.

So you have a choice to install steam or not if you want to play: Half-Life 2, Portal 2, Team Fortress 2, Left For Dead 2 and Counter-Strike Source?

I don't see how that is in any way relevant to the topic at hand, or even my post.

I wasn't raising my opinion on the Origin platform, I was merely pointing out that it's nothing to be surprised at. BF3 is currently a very desirable game. The Beta requires Origin to play. Lots of people want to play the beta, therefore lots of people are forced to use Origin. It's not at all indicative of how well Origin is being received, merely how desirable the games requiring the platform are.

I get that, just sounded like you were one of those okes that will complain about a competitor to steam. Sorry, shouldn't have assumed as much.
