Why is origin such an awful program.

I think Steam is the best, but even that is a bit weird to be honest. It's dated and visually unappealing - but it works which is what matters.

I have an issue with steam every now and then that it just forgets my details I try to login again and nothing....never have figured out why but all my friends are on and I have to leave it for a day sometimes then bomm works again.....point is steam/ origin....are both programs and if you can point out a program thats completely glitch free I'm sure we can find someone on the internet thats complaining about a glitch on it. Doesn't help in this case that so many people hate ea and by extension hate origin often without ever trying it.
 
Horrific. The advertising on loadup really annoys me, featured games popup... GRRRRRR. Also, updates getting stuck is frustrating.
 
Why would anyone install that filth on their computer?

I feel the need to wash my hands just replying to a thread about it.
 
Never had any problems with it myself, seems fairly simple and unobtrusive. I think the updating method is a bit annoying, but it could be worse.

For all the people comparing it to steam, I think that is a little unfair. Origin is about a year old now (yes there was a download client before that, but that was just a download client really) and Steam is pushing towards a decade. Also steam was pretty horrific to use back in the day, had way more problems with that.
 
Only have Origin to play BF3 and crysis. Works fine except it never remembers my login details. Ever.

Still prefer steam due to familiarity but certainly dont 'hate it'.
