Steam asks to see my shit, origin doesn't it's a very easy concept to grasp. No hypocrisy. Ill be getting this on xbox. Even though I own the previous two on both xbox and PC.
Mass Effect 3 PC will require Orgin

I'm pretty certain I will be getting a 'No Origin crack',I doubt the safety of torrents.Peuter said:
There was already a nor origin crack for Battlefield 3,which I use, & a No steam crack for Skyrim, which I don't use, 'cos I love steam.
If you disagree with their terms, that means you have the right to not purchase the product, it doesn't generate some magic moral justification for piracy.Peuter said:
If I say "I'll sell you my car but only if you agree I can sneak into your house and look around occasionally", that doesn't mean you get to take my car, that means you worry about my sanity and don't purchase the car from me.
On one hand, I don't really blame anyone for pirating EA games these days, but to pretend there's actually a moral justification for it just because you don't like what EA is doing is illogical.
Anyway, more on topic - I've been playing the series on 360, so I'll stick with my 360 Collector's Edition pre-order.
I even refused to buy Command and Conquer recently. EA have gone too far before you even bring SOPA into it.
Corrupt to the core.

Even speaking as someone that doesn't see piracy as a black and white issue, you're not justified in pirating the game because you don't care for this decision, in my opinion, though in that opinion the moral standing goes beyond "I don't like how they present it, so I steal it"; if I don't like how a company does business, I don't play the game at all. No title is worth playing at all costs to me, but then, I'm significantly more... I don't know, uninhibited than most people, it seems. I can quit anything cold turkey.
Sure, I've said I don't care for Mass Effect or Bioware about seven hundred times here, but if Capcom made Mega Man ZX3, I still wouldn't buy it with the way they behave now, because Capcom has been drinking from an idiot pump for about the last five years or so. I'm not so depraved that I'll come crawling to anyone who offers me my fix.

*cries* Why do you do this, EA? I understand digital (don't like it, but I understand it), but why for the PHYSICAL copy?! Why do you require Origin for the PHYSICAL COPY ONE CAN PHYSICALLY HOLD IN ONE'S PHYSICAL HANDS?! WHY DO YOU NOT DO THIS FOR 360 OR PS3?! WHAT HAVE YOU GOT AGAINST COMPUTERS?! *sob sob sob*
It annoys me when people talk about how Origin (or any othe program) does stuff "without your permission" when it is doing stuff in the terms of use. What is the terms of use you agreed to? Chopped liver? If you agree to the terms, you give permission.
Also, generally speaking, "non-personally identifiable information" means that the information is anonymized so that the source cannot be identified later by the collectors. They end up with stats info, basically demographic survey style stuff. At least, that's what the term "non-personally identifiable" means in every other legal sense I have encountered.

I (like most other people) saw this coming from a mile away. I'll be buying the Xbox version of this game.
In saying that, I do already have Origin installed (BF3). For me it's more of an inconvenience rather the "OMG SPYWARE!", I'd personally just prefer to use Steam.

Origin has yet to really negatively affect my gaming experience. I don't like it either, it just doesn't do much. I boot it for BF3, close it again after I finished playing and that's pretty much it. I doubt it'll be any different with ME3, so this doesn't affect my purchasing decision at all.
People are overreacting against Origin so much. Calm down people, it's not the devil incarnate.
