EA's Origin service is rotten to the core.

Not only do they pry into your information on the harddrive (can you imagine having to let someone see everything you own simply to be allowed to play a game?!) but the service itself is useless.

"EA is EVIL! , they waste their time watching me ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL DAY out of all the people in the world looking like a hobo in front of a screen playing games... OH THE HUMANITY!! i shall occupy WALL STREET!" 

You have to agree to let them spy on you in order to even be allowed to play the digital copies of their games is kind of... stupid at least? Not to mention its illegal in Europe. I wouldn't say they're evil exactly but surely incompetent and somewhat unfair. And its not like they're just lookig into the files of nerds who play all day, what if someone uses the family computer? They can dig up stuff on the entire family. I think its atrocious. Remember all the fire and brimstone around the Sony rootkits? This is far, far worse.

Also, I'm not known as a whiner in here or anywhere else and I don't complain unless there's a reason and the whole BF3 Origin farce is getting completely ridiculous now. The entire game has been virtually unplayable for two days straights and before the weekend and the devs haven't fixed a single thing in over a week.
