They don't want to give sales to Valve through Steam and would rather eliminate the middle man and sell their games via DD directly from their own servers for maximum profits. And in all fairness, who wouldn't? Considering EA owns/publishes quite a few major franchises I'm sure they'd just as soon keep as much of that revenue to themselves. As for why I don't like Origin as a user, again it feels completely unnecessary. Since it only covers EA games, it's always going to be limited as a service which I'm using here as a term by the loosest possible definition. For the most part, it feels more like a form of DRM even though it is more comparable to Steam (which many claim is nothing but the *ultimate* DRM). |
That's not true.
