I personally think South African gamers are jumping on this bandwagon because of the huge thing American gamers have made of EA and Origin. For me personally I have no issue with Origin, it loads much faster than Steam, I’ve had 20+ games on Origin since day 1 I started using it just because my EA games where registered and after chatting to Live support, I now have over 50 games, all retail games that I have on Origin just because they have been registered. Steam wouldn’t even redeem my copy of Half Life 2 when I bought it in 2004 when they had that huge hack where they lost so many thousands of HL2 keys. I had to send them pictures of my game and a news paper with my face in the picture with my email address and signature and and and only to be told afterwards sorry there is nothing we can do, goodbye. R350 back then down the drain. Contact Origin support for a 3rd time trying to load a retail game onto my Origin account get a DLC free to say sorry that I had to try so many times. My experience with SImCity, I picked up my Pre-order copy on Sunday morning, Installed it, had one Origin Update, two SimCIty launcher updates and that was it choose US east as my server and been playing since that day no issues, no lost saved games no nothing. Sure I lost connection to the EA servers every now and then but it tells you in the upper left side of the screen and when the connection is restored it gives you a tick telling you connection has been restored and it goes away.
