I have no issues with Origin tbh, my 2 favourite games are on there. BF4 and crysis 3.
I was there for that! Was a great stage in PC gaming though.

Nothing wrong with Origin, its just as good as Steam imo.
Not fair... you made me spit out a mouthful of coffee with your humorous anecdote!

Well ive never had a problem with it, always been fine for me.
It's Spyware? Erm, have you SEEN the Steam EULA? it's suspiciously similar to the Origin one and when you submit a crash report to Valve about steam it also lists all the programs you have so yes, Valve know if you have a torrent client on your PC.
Personally I've had no issues with Origin. It's a lot more stable than Steam is and Steam is becoming bloatware with a lot of crap that isn't required. I have Spotify for my music, I don't need steam music thanks.
The single biggest bugbear I have with Origin is it's 100 friends limit. When it was just BF3 and another couple of games it was OK. Now I have 22 games on it 100 just isn't enough!

I don't mind Origin at all as it works perfectly fine for me, except the issue with unable to add friends from time to time but in general their customer support service is amazing.
Lost access to my account and lost access to the email address that was registered to Origin and with 1 phone call which lasted about 5 minutes I had everything back.
Had an issue with Steam and it's been 2 years with no reply.

I was dreading having to contact Origin last night after being sold a dud key by CJS Keys and then being told by CJS that I need proof from Origin that the key had been used by someone else!
It was all done in under ten minutes using webchat - the advisor at Origin was excellent. Certainly no issues with Origin from that point of view.

origin sucks balls for me purely because it takes me about 12 attempts to login and even then won't be online. tried every 'fix' i've found, nothing works properly.
it's a POS that needs fixing, badly.
