    I will be very interested in seeing the pricing considering how EA's own titles pricing is a joke.

    Great, now we get more unneeded bloat. I'll have /some/ friends on Steam, some on Origin, and some on MS' GFWL.

    Because life isn't confusing enough.

    Wow you have friends that use Origin and GFWL? Do you know Peter Moore and Bill Gates?

    Everyone I know uses Steam and has almost all of those publishers catalogues thanks to ridiculously low priced Steam sales.

    EA are trying to force me to use Origin where Valve enticed me to use Steam. I've spent hundreds on Steam games, If they made Origin better/cheaper and didn't try to force it on me they might make some money, way they're going atm, not a chance.

    More purchase options is always good so I dont know what everyone is moaning about, if games are available on Steam, Impulse, Green Man Gaming, Origin and at retail then you have to option to buy where you want or where all your friends are.

    Yes Origin has some EA games exclusively but they are doing nothing different from what Valve did when they forced us to use Steam back when that was launched, I'm not saying its right or that its the best thing for us gamers but people really do seem to have short memories around here when it comes to Steam.

    That's fine. As long as I can consolidate them all using Raptr, I can keep a check on them all.

    why am i not surprised that EA have chosen to offer games from some of the other worst anti-consumer companies in the market maybe they could add sony and ubisoft then just change the name from origin to "the plague".
