I'm not talking about forums though, I'm talking about actual tech and news sites where people are paid to write content but we can add people who post on forums to the list as well.
Do you have a source to state that 90% of Origin's customers are satisfied?
Give a good impression to the customer of your service so they buy more from you. This is especially important when you are EA a company who was voted worst company in the USA, twice. Destroyed game series and stuck the middle finger up to their customers.
Yet you're acting like no one has issues on steam TODAY that have been around for years.
Outside of this bundle Origin is by many if not most people stated to max out there connections when Steam very very rarely does for people on even half decent connections. I could never get Steam to max out my 12mb/s connection let alone when that got upgraded to 80mb/s, Origin ALWAYS maxed out any connection I have, always and many people have had the same.
As for DRM, almost none of the games I have actually required Origin to be open after the game is downloaded. I downloaded a digital version of Dragon Age origins, I can play that with Origin closed, I can do the same with most of the other games I have within Origin(with one or two exceptions). With Steam, every game requires steam to be open, and after a laggy open to the software it usually bangs on about an update. As multiple people on this forum alone have stated, offline mode with Steam is, years later, still by far the most buggy pile of poo there is.
My internet goes down, the majority of my Origin games are playable, the majority of my steam games aren't, which is the more "DRM" infested pile of overbearing poop?
Origin is simple, basic, pretty quick, maxes my downloads, and has better sales on games that aren't 34 years old. Crucially Origin FREQUENTLY does codes for pre-order games, Crysis 2 for 50% off a year before launch that many people got... while a similar AAA game on Steam will be more expensive on steam than ANY other source and will remain the most expensive source for a couple of years at least....
The rabid fanboyism for steam does my head in because they make excuses why its the most expensive platform for buying games, then loads of people offset this by buying loads of games they'll never play in the sales... without realising they are simply being conned into buying "cheap" games.
As a test I just found the .exe for Just Cause 2(through the ridiculous convulted file system of Steam), double click, game is STILL starting because Steam wanted to do an update... wooo. I open a similar game in Origin, by going directly to the game folder where I chose to install it, double click .exe, game opens without any delays, without any forced updates, without logging into steam, without having to update and restart steam.
It took me two seconds to find that even tech sites are also complaining about the service.
