Why you hate Origin? [Has New Stuff Added!]

Because it's EA's trojan.

Their servers are far better to the steam servers though, at least in Australia

Worst customer support on the planet. It took me 5 hours (literally) and 5 different people telling me they couldn't help me to with the first and last game I will ever buy from them.

I'll like EA/origin again once they allow me to put madden 2007 on my origin account.

I HAVE THE FRIGGEN BOX AND CD KEY, I SENT THEM THE DAMN PICTURES. LEMME PLAY MADDEN 07 DAMN U

I don't like origin because if you don't play your games within a certain period of time, they deactivate your licenses and you have to buy them all over again.

Because EA lies. See this page: http://www.origin.com/about

Under "Benefits Of Origin" section, it says "Origin now offers you the ability to add virtually any EA game you’ve ever purchased digitally to your Origin library, regardless of where you originally bought the game. Just enter the product code and a new copy will be added to your Origin library."

Origin does not accept half of my EA Games' CD-Keys. EA support did nothing but told me to repurchase those games I already own on Origin.

^ This guy also lost a game he purchased directly from EA Store. You can see that EA did not give a shit about his problem.

Because EA is the devil, they constantly screw over the customer base the moment it is financially advantageous to do so.

I don't like origin because brazilian origin is a total ripoff. Old games for full prices and total lack of sales.

Because it's slow and buggy beta shit. It's better to pirate any EA game, because normal customer support and service exist only in our dreams.

Because it doesn't work and EA's customer service is practically a crime against humanity.

Oh, and Origin won't work right on campus, I couldn't download Battlefield 3 (which I preordered in FEBRUARY) until I went home for Christmas. Steam has no such problem.

Edit: Oh, and I had to install Origin in a sandbox so it wouldn't spy on me. Didn't have to do that with Steam, either. They have some nasty things in their EULA - even if they say they don't spy on you, they sure went to lengths to make sure they're legally covered if - no, when - they do. So they can look through a single other file in that sandbox, a nice .txt file with the tantalizing name of "pirated keys" explaining exactly where EA can go and what they can do with themselves when they get there.

why you hate to eat shit? Thats your answer

A lesser quality service. That's all. I don't care if Steam was terrible when it first launched. You don't see a new company that made a product and saying "Oh yeah.. well we're new so don't expect it to be perfect." Support is terrible and it's EA. I could go into detail and make a tl;dr post, but I'm too lazy for that and just leave it at that.

Cause it's shit.

Copy of steam, and the support sucks.

Costumer support, bans, their policy, very VERY poor community etc. Steam is just a billion steps in front of them and I hate Origin even more because their copying from Steam -.-"

I not hate Origin, i hate EA and ignore them for now.
Why? They ignore STEAM).

Their Eula is reason enough.

From the Wikipedia page for Origin: "According to reports in German newspapers, the German version of Origin's EULA violates several German laws, mainly laws protecting consumers and users' privacy."

Why we hate Origin? b/c slow load, bugged (like a BF3 Beta still in my game list with msg No Released), no groups, on Steam is easiest change nickname & avatar, Steam is smoother, Steam allow 3rd party games, etc.

The GUI is terrible, it's not user friendly and WE JUST LOVE STEAM and you can't even call it a competition for Steam.

I disliked origin because it tried to be steam but they did pretty much everything wrong. Now that I've read the thread I got some actual reasons to dislike it.

The only qualm I have against Origin is how slow it takes to boot up, and that their interface is a little ugly for my tastes.

Besides that, most of the things they have are comparable to Steam, including on them being able to monitor your anonymous PC usage.

Oh, one thing I do like more about Origin is their live customer support. They definitely do respond a lot quicker than Steam's 3-4 day turnaround ticketing system.

They want to much datas

Because it is GfWL-like worse. If you want to play a game on XBOX or PS in the next year you have to activate the game via your origin account. Dumb.

I don't hate it. I just hate the idea of using more than one DD service that requires something to be installed on my PC to run the games.

Steam works perfectly for me, and houses my 400+ game collection all in one place. The only other games I have anywhere else are Condemned off D2D (simply because it's unavailable elsewhere) and a few free games I got off GoG (some of which Steam doesn't carry). So in the end, I still only deal with one service.

And I like that. I don't have to think "Hmm, Mass Effect 2 - oh, gotta boot up Origin for that" or anything of the sort. Yes, with 400+ games, it's a bit hard to keep track of what I do and don't own.

Yes, it's only like a 50MB install size. But that's still one more thing installed that doesn't have to be installed.

Lol the support 2 thing gave you extra bfbc2 keys and you still hate origin ? Go to hell. Also, like in steam, do not expect that all games older than origin and bought in other websites can activate in origin. YOU are an incompetent, you even sold the other bfbc2 keys ? Really, go burn in hell.
