Ok, EA, some tips. If you're going to pull all your games down from the best online content provider for gamers, you might want to have a viable replacement. For some weird reason, I don't consider it very good when I get ~70% of the DL speeds I do for Steam. Yeah, it's probably good that more people are looking into digital retail channels for games. Even though something like 0% of us believe that that convenience is actually any more than a weak excuse for pirates, it's still convenient.
But please, do it properly? Another thing. You should probably have a system that isn't clunky, awkward, and stupid to replace the handy Steam client. Hate to tell you this, but centralizing us on a damned web browser, on a site that loads slower than Steam pages, and even forcing us to LAUNCH from the web browser, is kind of annoying. Especially when we have to relaunch the game to switch servers.
I mean, is it really so hard for gaming's monopolistic, monolithic evil empire to hire maybe ONE whole person who actually plays games in some sort of decision making capacity? I mean, this is in the category of idiocy. The only reason people use origin for online purchase at all is because you force us to. Here's a news flash. We like Steam as a whole service, not just as a store. You didn't improve on it, and you suck.
By the way, if you try to take away my access to my games because you don't like this opinion, like you did to the one guy after DA2 came out, I promise to sue you so bad your stockholders mama feels it.
