Anyone had any issues with Origin EA store or heard any bad reviews of origin. Quite a few things im interested in but it seems to have a bad rep, is this the case or am i making it up.

I see what you're saying, but things are slightly less expensive on origin than steam so then its worth it.

All I'd say is if the game(s) you want are on Steam, then get them on Steam. Only use Origin for games that require you to use it, eg, Battlefield 3, Crysis 2 and Mass Effect 3 amongst some others.

Sounds like this is the best way, only being able to install 5 times is a joke. I can imagine Steam will eventually go down this route also. Shame games are no longer actually 'yours', being tied down to steam or origin is BS.

Only if one is silly enough to buy a game with 3rd party DRM from a publisher like Ubisoft.

Indeed, I have Settlers 7 simply awesome game, i hear requires you to be online always (figure this one out...
