"Publisher exec David DeMartini weighs in on digital store's future features, third-party publishers, competing with Steam, and retailer-exclusive preorder bonuses"

Not that impressive since they force people to install their platform in order to run their games and it seems Mass Effect 3 is going the same route... bastards. I'll never buy anything from Origin directly cause they're freakin expensive. (Mass Effect 1 & 2 still priced at R350 each for example)
 
I don't like how EA is forcing us to use Origin, it should rather have been promoted with crazy specials to lure customers into using it. I can just see in the not to distant future, we'll be running 10 different clients for different digital distribution services...
 
So 4 million people downloaded it for BF3 and they think suddenly they have a great store?
 
Have they actually said how many of those users even know they're Origin users, seeing as if you had an EA account for something like BC2, you automatically had an Origin account?
 
Very true. Thats what happened to me, I downloaded Origin and logged in with my BC2 account and was like "oh.. really?"
 
I just hope they stick to origin now I am so sick and tired of making a account for a game then a few months in you can use your ea account all of a sudden.

Careful... talk like that gets you shunned around here...

Last time I brought up that exact point I was apparently an idiot, shortsighted, retarded, and a whole extra slew of shit thrown my way.
