The only thing that bothers me in that sentence is: Origin.
They must be very desperate to get the user count up.
My answer is still: no, thanks! |

Indeed. Also, this...
> All you have to do is add it to your Origin game library and it’s yours to keep forever.
We all know full well that they can take it away at any time and if Origin gets shut down on a whim because it isn't popular enough and too expensive to run you lose all of your games.
Hardly forever! |

Well BF3 doesn't use gamespy as far as I know, so they can't really take it away. Origin is tied to your account not tied to your games. Your account tracks your games not Origin. It's pretty unlikely they will take Origin away and I really don't see anything wrong with Origin anyway. I prefer Steam but then Steam has been around forever.
I'm really not going to complain when they give games away for free. Really nothing to criticize here. You either bitch you don't like the game, you have to pay too much for it and then when they give it for free you bitch? Kinda stupid I think. |

@tride
Read the posts again. The problem is not the title, or, that it's free.
It's the supplementary crap/spy/malware that you are required to install. |

Tell me a game nowadays that does not reguire you to install Steam or something for DRM or other shit ?
Get over this, jesus! The american government is spying on you all, not throught Steam or Origin or such stupid platforms and you are ok with this. But when you have to install a client that provides such a comfortable service for you to enjoy the games you want, you freak out like without even thinking about it.
I got Origin and Steam and have no fucking problem with them all! Your complains are pointless! Thats all i can say! |
