Seriously people, Get over it.

That might mean something if people weren't forced to register just to play games published by EA, even if they purchased said game on a physical disc.Some claim there's no room for Origin as a competitor to Steam. 45 million registered users are proving that wrong.
Lol I'm complaining about EA's DRM because I actually want to buy the game so much but they're making it hard for me to do that so I won't. Waaaaaaait where is the source that says EA lost 50 million dollars because they screwed themselves over and though "reparations" were gonna make everyone not mad?TomLikesGuitar said:Hey guys...
How about instead of complaining about Sim City DRM, do some research and wait like 2 days before you buy it.
And 90% of the time DRM isn't even that bad. Get over it people; it's the way of the future of gaming, and it's honestly mostly your guys' fault for pirating so much.
DRM is a temporary solution to theft and it won't last/ be intrusive enough to matter (albeit rarely) for much longer.
EDIT: Keep in mind this company just lost ~$50,000,000 in sales from Sim City reparations.

I have 4 games on Origin. Battlefield 3, Mass Effect 3, Dead Space 3 and Star Wars The Old Republic. All of which I purchased physical copies of and was forced to register a goddamn Origin account to use and, in the case of ME3 and DS3, even play. I'm always online on Steam, to chat with people, update games, browse the Store - I'm only ever online on Origin if I have no other choice.
That's why you're the worst company in America, EA. Not because you put lesbians in Mass Effect, not because people are petty about who goes on the cover of your millions of re-releases of sports games, but because your business practices actually hinder your customers.
As said before this was posted on a website for consumerism so companies responsible for oil spills or billions of banking dollars lost, do not apply. Yeah I hate EA like everyone else for origin and many other things but what I hate most is that they are giving companies that make the games a bad name. Bioware is actually located in my city and from what I understand, the reason the games are complained about were because of the EA brand who put their shitt on it while rushing development. They probably could of had a better ending if they spent a bit more time on thinking about the game but because EA makes sports games which are yearly, they apply deadline to every other game.Gameguy20100 said:Right and this makes them worse than company's who have left people bankrupt and homeless how?HellbirdIV said:That might mean something if people weren't forced to register just to play games published by EA, even if they purchased said game on a physical disc.Some claim there's no room for Origin as a competitor to Steam. 45 million registered users are proving that wrong.
