Yes, but only because Battlefield games won't work without it.

I actually like Orgin's interface better than Steam's (for the most part). The DVD box art looks sleeker than the list or widescreen box art that Steam uses. Navigating the store is easier than Steam's.

Made an account years ago, haven't touched it since.

Yes - had to get it for the kids to play FIFA. It's been a pain in the rear, but now all problems are fixed, I can hopefully forget about it.

Yes, though nowhere near as often as Steam. I'm not really sure why it gets so much hate. It does exactly what it's supposed to do. But I guess we have to hate the big evil EA, right?

Yes, it's an excellent game client

For games only it's more robust than steam imo

I have it set up so all ea games are on Origin, the only downside is lack of community features and that the store via origin is awfully slow

No I haven't, but I'll have to sooner or later since I wanna play Kingdoms of Amalur on my PC... but I really don't wanna :/

Origin is annoying in the fact that is splitting my game library between two services. But it isn't as bad as everyone says it is. compared to how Uplay turned out, and the fact that I have games that require both Uplay and Steam. I am happy using the service. It isn't half bad

When I have to (PC version of ME3).

Did you not get the PC version of ME2? or does ME3 also require you download the Origin client rather than just making an account (which I had to do for ME2)
