@thequickshooter @grnionio I don't know, why are you hatting EA? Did they caused you pain, any kind of trauma or something? Besides, I find their attempt on digital distribution pretty decent, and not "pathetic".
@Mega_Loser @grnionio @RabidBurp I think EA is "forcing" their DRM to stay competitive. And we need a competitive EA.
Also, as you said, EA is a company. A pretty large one. So I'm not shocked they want to make money. Especially if there are people buying their "little" extras.
For e.g. go check Battlefield's Premium sales. It's crazy. If I saw that kind of demand, I would do the same thing in their position. Totally normal.
And I hate whining. Origin is just another program, between the tens of useless someone already has, which is required to play EA's games, like Battlefield 3, Mass Effect 3, Dead Space 3, SimCity, Most Wanted, whatever. You're not forced to play these games, neither to purchase DLCs and extras. Plus, if you won't use a digital service to purchase your games, where will you get them from? Retailers? Like, DVDs? That's sad...
Again, I cannot understand the hate and that unfiltered contempt towards Origin. I find it really useful. Maybe we just like hate to hate, EA in particular?
@RabidBurp I'm pretty sure you need to do the same thing if you'd like to play for example: Counter Strike, Left for Dead, Portal, Call of Duty (MW2 and later) and go on.
I'm delighted to use both Steam and Origin, I have plenty of games on both of them, and I'm happy I can register all of my EA games to keep them save digitally and download them any time I need them, anywhere. For example, I now have all of my The Sims 3 games available in one place for both my PC and Mac. No need to use those stupid DVDs to install each one of them.
So I really have a hard time to understand all the hate...
I believe that belongs to Stewart's B*llshit Mountain. It's obvious that these guys are looking for someone or something to blame. "Sure, we support guns and we believe that in order to avoid these kinds of incidents, is for people to have more guns! But then Bulletstorm comes in and f*cks out concept! DAMN U BULLETSTORM!!!". I imagine them saying something like that...
It should be Mass Effect 3 for me. It was the ending of an epic trilogy; with unbelievably engaging storyline and characters, strong action, great voice acting, while being amazingly beautiful. And it's a cross platformed game; anyone with any system, Console or PC, can play it. Journey is great, sure, but there is a huge amount of gamers who can't judge it. I'm one of them. Just give us Journey for PC! Pretty please?...
I believe it will get released for PC eventually, sooner or later. Besides, the GTA series always had a strong tradition and presence in the PC gaming world. But 'till then, I just guess I'll give that XBOX 360 of mine a purpose...
