Personally I don't want to support EA or Activision at all. EA refuses to let Polyphony Digital and Turn 10 use Porsche in their games and I think that's just shameful.
But Portal is a good game, and in Canada we don't get crazy Black Friday sales, so it's nice to be able to get something cheap before christmas (Our sales are on Dec 26th - Boxing Day).
Also I agree, steam is better, but I don't even have a windows/mac based Pc which is capable of gaming. So it's useless to me.

EA makes great games, who cares if they want some exclusivety ? if you want to be pissed off at someone you should look at ferrari , they're a pain in the ass to publishers , so much so that they had to remove all the outrun games on XBLA/PSN because of the old ferrari models.
also Origin is like Steam but for EA.... and has overpriced games xD

Difference is; Steam actually works... I've never had as much trouble as I had with Battlefield 3 with anything else in my life and certainly not in gaming. And EA's treatment of people who complained (not rudely) was unacceptable and weak. Origin is still way too unstable to use as a manager and has a lot of catching up to do with Steam and others. And the prices are ridiculous.
