    Demartini is pretty chuffed with the progress Origin has made so far, and they do have admittedly impressive numbers for such a short space of time.

    ^ If they didn't force us to download Origin to play their bloody games then I'd like to see what their actual figures would be.

    Steam offers a service. What does Origin offer? If they start actually caring about the customer rather than just thinking of all of us as potential income we might start to warm up to it. Steam didn't generate it's customer loyalty by being greedy.

    Wanted to start a whole new thread for this article on IGN..However i see this pertains to that horrible company EA.

    http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/06/...ntent=20076636

    Ignore the actual article, read the comments section, I agree with about every responce there.

    Look Origin COULD be better than Steam, it's entirely possible Steam isn't perfect not by a long shot by the likelihood of EA making Origin better than Steam is slim to none.

    If Origin can bring something new to the playing field then maybe,just maybe it might surpass steam.In 5 years or so
    Connection to reality could not be established,please try again later

    Thing is if they are always aiming to be 'Steam-like' then they will never be better than Steam because Steam is always improving so you're aiming at a moving target. Then when you take into account Steam evolves at a faster rate than Origin you begin to see the unlikeliness of the situation.
