Do you think that EA will make their future Star Wars games Origin exclusive?

Hey guys, what do you think? I don't have anything against Origins anymore, but it would be nice to see it being sold on steam as well.

Let me know in the comments below.

More than likely.

If they think they can squeeze more money out that way, they will do it.

I've just been assuming that EA is making all of their games, going forward, origin exclusive on PC. Just like valve's games are all steam exclusive. Don't see why they wouldn't. 

I certainly hope not.  Call me what you will, but I prefer to do most of my business on Steam.  I won't buy games on Origin because the service is clunky and unnecessary, and speaking with my wallet is important.  I realize EA is a huge corporation that wants to sell their products for pure profit and all, but their service is terrible and their prices follow suit; it would help their sales considerably if they just dealt through Steam as well.  I show my support by shopping on Steam, and I save lots of headache and money doing so.

Anyway, point is that unless Battlefront 3 comes out as an Origin exclusive, I won't struggle with the decision even a little of using that shoddy service.  If they do make their future Star Wars titles exclusive to Origin, they won't get half of the sales they could get since the general consensus appears to mirror my opinion.  Will they do it?  Hell yes.......

Probably.

Origin works just fine. It's not a shoddy service at all.

It's not 2011 anymore. Origin is no longer terrible and is actually shaping up to be pretty decent.

i would be very surprised if they didn't

There is nothing shoddy about Origin. It actually works better than steam for the most part. The offline mode actually works well and I usually get much better download speeds than I do on Steam.Toxic-Seahorse

Funny. I've never seen ANYTHING download faster on my computer than games coming from Steam. I've also never had a problem with offline mode. Use it constantly, and have never had a single issue. Every single non-MP game I own works flawlessly, and always has. I honestly have no idea where people always seem to get the idea that there's something wrong with steam's offline mode.

I've also never quite understood what people were talking about saying that, either. You mean you have to change to offline mode while online one time, ever, for it to work in the future? If that's the case, it's not really much of an issue, since getting steam installed in the first place requires internet. You're obviously online when you install it, so just go to offline mode right fast, and you're golden. If you mean that in order for offline mode to work in general, you have to switch to it while online, that's simply not true.

Probably, and that would be just fine. Complaining about Origin now is pretty silly these days.

[QUOTE="Toxic-Seahorse"] Probably from personal experience. Quite a few times I tried to play a steam game offline and steam simply wouldn't boot up in off-line mode. Not to mention the fact that you have to change into offline mode once while you're online for offline mode to work offline is beyond ridiculous.Toxic-Seahorse

Oh okay. Yeah, would be nice if they explained that upon installation, or just made it not so. I guess I never noticed because the first time I used offline mode was while I was online, just experimenting with the program, checking out pretty much everything in the options. I tend to do that with new programs when I first use that. Others definitely don't, though, and I could see that being an issue.

Otherwise, I guess I've just been one of the lucky (or just not unlucky) ones to not have any issues getting offline mode to work regularly.

Of course, at least on PC. If it's published by EA, they'll want to use their own service of course.

I actually don't have an issue with that. While I prefer Steam, Origin fixing that horrible download error issue they used to have made it much more tolerable.

LOL origin.

Bf3's servers are a mess right now, laggy client, and disconnections.

They like pumping out new dlc without fixing or balancing the game itself first, and it seems like they are already moving on their efforts to bf4.

I do think they would, and it would suck b.c of origin.
