Am I crazy?

For me I like having the whole series of a game in one place.

  • I already had Crysis Warhead and Crysis 1 on Origin so I activated Crysis 2 on Origin instead of steam. Also Crysis 3 is origin only so once that gets cheap I can get that too. It just bugs me to have Crysis 1 and 2 on steam, then have 3 on origin.

  • As for Dead Space, I already owned 1 and 2 on Origin(DS 3 was nice to complete my collection :D) and it's kinda a waste to reactivate them on steam.

  • Mirror's Edge already owned on Origin and played through half the game, don't want to reactivate/replay on steam.

  • Medal or Honor + Burnout already owned on Origin.

So yeah, I didn't activate any steam keys.

I read many negative comments about those games, so who cares?

I don't know if it will get really bad later on, but I'm really enjoying Dead Space 3.

I had burnout already, but I activated it for sake of completeness. This way, I don't have to launch Origin to play the game.

Not crazy at all. It's your bundle. You do what you want with it.

B-but we hate Origin! Are you suggesting everyone gets their own opinion? Preposterous!

I use Origin and I don't want an extra copy taking up space
in either library that I'm not going to play, so I'm the same way.

Why would you tell this to us? Doesnt really affect us in anyway...Wait a sec....Are you trying to make people beg or something?

I bought the entire bundle and made an Origin account just for Sims 3, so no judgement from me.

To be fair though, I own most of the other games on Xbox already.

Well you came to the right site. Give away the Steam games you don't want.

Actually there may be some connection with the keys in which case he shouldn't give the Steam keys away. Read the related forum thread about it.

I activated mine on both. Building up my Origin library. Only had 2142 Northern Strike, BC2 and BF3 up until a few months ago. Have Mass Effect 2 on it, will be adding ME and ME3 later on.

I try my best to keep my Origin library small but I felt like I just had to use the keys of the two games I didn't have from the bundle.

Didn't mind Origin through out the whole time i used it with BF3. So just thought "Why not?" Doesn't hurt to have a backup. I'll still play the games on Steam first, because i like the client a lot more. Although Origin is starting to shape up nicely.

The main reason for me is that ideally I would like everything to be in the same place. Not divided to Steam, Origin, Desura, Gamersgate and GOG...and I even have one game on Bigfishgames because I couldn't get it anywhere else.

I activate all of them Origin or steam. If Gabe went full retard I still have origin, if EA went full retard I still have steam.

So in short, I kinda side towards abit on Origin due to I hate steam monopoly.

I activated all the Origin keys on my Origin account and gave the Steam keys to my friends. I don't mind playing on Origin,when you think about it,it's not really that bad. It's just like playing a game without any interruptions

Nothing wrong with Origin. Don't let anyone else tell you otherwise. True gamer likes games. Play them wherever you see fit. I activated all mine on both. Just cause why not. Im hoping that more and more ppl start using origin now... as the extra origin keys I have would otherwise be a waist.

this is true, Origin in nothing wrong, the only I dislike is their prices, but in this bundle they're just gifting games. The problematic is Uplay, I always got problems while using it to play Assassins Creed series.

I definitely understands your points as I feel the same. Unfortunately, there is a greater point that bugs me the most: I hate that my game collection is split up to more than one platform. I want my game collection as a whole in only one platform.

And now I have serious strugle with myself whether to use origin now or not.

I activated the key on steam the get the CD key for origin, so I still have my Origin key from the bundle, and Still can have the complete series in one place

For me it's the complete opposite, I only activated the steam keys and will never touch the origin keys.

I'm the same, I keep all my EA games in Origin, but activate the game on Steam as well, just as a back up.

Just don't make giveaways for them then, because that would count as piracy and we would delete every one and probably suspend you.

Mmh why would it be piracy to give Steam keys to game he already owned ? We're not talking giving the Steam key while using the Origin one..

Err... yes, we are. He activated the Origin keys and still has the Steam keys for those games unused.

Well not for all of them from what he says.. just like me he already owned Dead Space and Mirror's Edge. Meaning the license agreement for those game is untouched be on Origin or Steam so where would there be a problem giving the steam keys away..

Piracy? suspend for giving away games? some kinda new "anti-bundlers" system?

An old anti-piracy system. This thread explains it.
