Hmm... I was getting a whole different vibe from the overall internet Origin bashing (more along the lines of "ugly/broken/malware infested/computer destroying/EA owned piece of DRM") <- strictly Origing client I mean. Not EA's business practices.Denamic said:The hate for Origin is because they sell digital copies of games for more than the physical copies cost at a retail store. Their prices are not only not competitive, but outright greedy. It's ridiculous to think you can compete with steam with prices easily twice as high as steam has. The only reason origin even exist is because they have juggernaut IPs that exclusively use origin.
Origin is fine, as far as the service goes. It had some rough patches early but is a fine digital storefront/downloader as far as these things go. I mean, it's totally DRM, but most of us made peace with Steam a long time ago, so it would seem a bit hypocritical to pile on Origin for being an orange Steam.Lucifiel said:Aside from this, I actually can't complain much about Origin when it comes to its purpose as a game library.
Given the discussion was unchecked paranoia about a completely unsubstantiated and alarmist rumor, by all means, sidetrack away. It will only improve things.Lucifiel said:I think the discussion got sidetracked so I will not continue with this...
Hah! Literally JUST finished doing my research on this. But yea, I think I'll be able enjoy DA:I in peace.DoPo said:Will it help knowing that this "report" is more or less absolute horse shit with absolutely nothing and nobody backing it up?
Reminds me a lot of the anti-StarForce campaign, which despite being shitful and intrusive as all fuck wasn''t tthe optical drive killer it was smeared as being.DoPo said:Will it help knowing that this "report" is more or less absolute horse shit with absolutely nothing and nobody backing it up?prpshrt said:Can't really enjoy it as much knowing it's slowly killing my PC.
I never really saw any useful evidence for or against it. Then again, I couldn't be bothered to look, either. At any rate, it was, at least, more believable than this claim.RhombusHatesYou said:Reminds me a lot of the anti-StarForce campaign, which despite being shitful and intrusive as all fuck wasn''t tthe optical drive killer it was smeared as being.DoPo said:Will it help knowing that this "report" is more or less absolute horse shit with absolutely nothing and nobody backing it up?prpshrt said:Can't really enjoy it as much knowing it's slowly killing my PC.
I was actually pleasantly surprised when I realized that the download speed in Origin is significantly higher than in Steam. Not sure if it has anything to do with server load.BloatedGuppy said:Origin is fine, as far as the service goes.

My only real issue with it is that it ISN'T Steam. It's more convenient to me, the shopper, to have my games in one place. I already have to deal with the Blizzard app running separately from Steam, so having to run Origin too is just a big pain in the ass.
I've spent more time playing indie games anyways. From the Depths is my current and I don't really see myself switching to anything else for a long time.Adam Jensen said:I've been very happy lately with my decision not to buy AAA games on launch. I successfully avoided Watch Dogs, AC:U, Far Cry 4 and now DA:I. There's probably more but I can't remember.
Pretty sure all the other Fifa's on PC were cracked like straight away. Some people do play single player. Ignoring that, Lords of the Fallen uses it, and that hasn't been cracked either, though that only came out about a month ago. But still, a month is a life time in terms of pirates.BloatedGuppy said:It's not the best example. FIFA is generally played for online matchmaking, as opposed to games against the AI.razer17 said:In all fairness, Fifa 15 which uses this Denuvo thing hasn't been cracked yet, 2 months on.
You mean the way that you should have been playing PC games for 10+ years?Lovely Mixture said:At this point I'm wondering if the preferable option for PC game consumers is going to be:RagingTiger said:So basically the honest consumer has to deal with a flurry of DRM headaches and a shortened lifespan for SSDs while pirates can play with 0 worries in any regard? I thought piracy was meant to be the least desirable option, seems our honesty comes at a price.
1. Purchasing games legitimately to show that they are honest and are willing to pay.
2. Then downloading a crack or a cracked pirated version (of the game they just bought) so they can play it with no issues.
At this point, most of my boycotts are matters of convenience since I refuse to download another DRM platform other than Steam.
No, it's not. Obama does not have a well catalogued history of sacrificing goats, such that your best defense is "Obama's not sacrificing goats today." That is the position EA is in. After the fifth or sixth time you ruin everything (crippling Command & Conquer, DA2, the ME3 ending, the Dungeon Keeper pay-to-play remake and the way the app only lets you vote if you're going to give it a 5...) you only have yourself to blame if people stop giving you the benefit of the doubt.Steve Waltz said:Why would you spread this stupid rumor about? Your ?source" is just a forum post; I could easily enough lie and say ?Obama sacrifices goats? and it?s just as creditable.
So because they made a few games you did not like you are going to blindly accept any wild accusation made against them without any proof? That is practically the definition of stupidity.Grumman said:No, it's not.

As the post Above you has wisely stated (Grumman), this is more than just Mass effect 3 ending. EA and its developers have had a lot of issues with their products for a long time. You can't fault people for being a bit careful and not pre order the game or buying on day 1.Dansen said:Just watched a TotalBiscuit review of the port(not the game). He says he has yet to see any evidence of this being true and that the game only has a few minor performance issues, overall it seems to be a good port. This site has gotten so silly during my hiatus, still carrying on the EA witch hunt long after the ME3 cataclysm.
Nobody is telling you to preorder or buy the game on day 1. The issue is that the source that is linked in the op is calling this guy on his bullshit.The Forces of Chaos said:As the post Above you has wisely stated (Grumman), this is more than just Mass effect 3 ending.

Incorrect, as per what I have said before.hyurnat4 said:Calm down. Denuvo in DAI is only an antitamper for the .exe file. The only DRM being used is Origin.
