But origin from what i have heard is a joke. I won't use it so I can't buy any games that require it. So no BF3 for me(unless i get it on a console). But Steam is very good. Amozon is very good too as it is basically jut a download client. I haven't really used Xbox live digital distribution yet or sony's so i can't comment on them. |
I agree to an extent, and there are certainly upsides to digital distribution, but it's inevitable that it moves the needle in favor of publishers and platform holders over the consumers. It's just the nature of the beast.
