Won't matter. When the gamer hate train is a going, nothing will stop it. Not improvements, not quality, not cheap or free stuff, not common sense, not anything. Origin bears the mark of Cain and that's that. :|

tell that to PS3

That's like comparing a drive by shooting (PS3 backlash) to Omaha Beach (Xbox One backlash).  Things are different now.  I know, man!  I was there!!!

the point is, that an image can be turned around. PS3 was crapped on and now its not.

Oh I understand that and agree too.  The PS3 hate wasn't near that bad, though.  Playstation had an extremely loyal fanbase for a decade leading into it's launch and Sony didn't have as many faux-enemies as say EA or Microsoft (Apple, Google, Sony, Nintendo, Linux and more fanboys).  People were still buying PS3's in droves (particularly throughout Europe) even before it turned into an awesome console.

which was even more reason for MS NOT to try to pull what they tried to pull IMHO. 360 is cool but wasnt no PS2, i would argue it wasnt no PS1 either. Plus it had more enemies

How did MS try to pull what Sony pulled???

im talking about trying to pull that DRM thing



Around the Network

I only use it for The Simpsons Tapped out and that's it. The only games on it are their own anyway, i wish they released their games on Steam though which is what most people use.



Xbox One, PS4 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

Prediction: Switch will sell better than Wii U Lifetime Sales by Jan 1st 2018

How is that trying to pull of what Sony pulled off?  I don't want to make assumptions on what you mean by that.



I don't think anything they do will fix their image. Origin is basically a glorified game launcher. People just want to stick to one thing. And that was Steam. I only use it to launch their games. I have no reason to buy or run anything through it. I don't even have the overlay option enabled whenever I play games. I have no one on the friends list for it to be useful.
