Five million people use EA Origin daily

[halos]

I hope you don't need origin for the disc version because Im getting kinda sick of being forced to use steam or origin if you want to play the game.

Bad news for you, the disc version will also require you to make use of Origin. So whether you like it or not, you're going to be using Origin either way

Oh joy

What's so bad about origin anyway? People complained when steam was required to play half-life 2/counter-strike, now most people prefer it. What makes this any different?

Nowhere does it say:
"Five million people use EA Origin daily Willingly"

200 000 people use the Freeway from Jhb to Pta every week.

Please forward that to them. Just some useless info.
Who cares how many people are using a service that is forced on them to play BF3, not to mention it starts when windows starts and runs in the background. Grats EA for some pointless shit.

What I really blame in this instance for making everyone's life more complicated is the fact that every Publisher wants in on a piece of the online distribution market
Instead of using one converged platform, they opt to use proprietary locked down portals to distribute games to maximize profit and sure, it works, but do any of them ever stop to ask if we, the audience they sell to like have 3 - 5 Background portals running on our systems the whole time
And before someone mentions that you can elect to have them startup manually, that may be even worse, pre loading a loader makes no sense

+1 to that. I don't see why EA didn't just use steam. Gamers would have been much happier, if they did that. Then you get them saying and I quote "Origin is so much more than steam" Oh really? In what way? Mmmm...Tards.
