as if most users willingly installed origin , it was a mandatory install for most EA games , it's like microsoft boasting windows 8 sales.. whereas most people who bought a new computer was complaining about it and requesting downgrade to Win7
it would be more like Microsoft boosting sales of windows CE back in the dreamcast era when a load of games on the Dreamcast were powered by it, it's not that people cared or wanted that service, it just happened to be what powered the games underneath.
If a game requires "Origin" to be installed, I will not buy it.
tpb versions of such games don't have the same requirements cough :D
lol I had to make an origin account to play Mass Effect 3 but after that game complete forgot what it was because I had made a new email address to link it to since I didn't want their spam emails offering junk 100000 times more expensive than anything on steam annoying me, so yeah I'm one user there o/ go EA u da best.
