Origin is no more than spyware.

No more spywaye than Facebook, Twitter, Abode Premiere, Microsoft Windows, or Steam.

What a logic. And somehow that is making it OK to violate my privacy rights? Whenever I think there a chance of it being spyware then I better voice it. Maybe that way it can be avoided. The more people agree with it, the better. If it turns out to be spyware then at least I've tried. The only option that remains then is not buying the game. That's a last resort and I wouldn't want that.

origins is a crappy service, it attempts to be steam but offers half as many games with half as many functions.

I don't like EA because they are money grubbing big business that is only interested in exploitable games and emulating the crap that Activision puts out.

Well it's still new so ofcourse it's limited. But it's EA which is the problem I see Origin as a platform that will try to milk it's customers whatever way they can.

No. I'm just saying that singling out one service is a rather lame argument.

Honestly, that's all I was saying.

All of you protesting a company being concerned with making money need to take some time, do a little soul searching, and ponder how you feel about capitalist economic systems in general.

That said, not being fond of capitalism is fine. It does mean however that your issues go deeper than whether or not EA is selfish.  Because in such a system they're basically obligated to be.

Sorry but those things youv mentioned don't go digging into my computer able to look at all my programs I have without my premission, unless I'm hacked. You have to agree to the terms of Origin and one of those terms is letting them look at all the programs in your computer, if you don't you can't install the app, so sorry EA can take this program and shove it. I'm sick of this crap. EA and Blizard are ruining PC gaming

EA is the reaper of independent studios, they gobble up promising studios then drive them into the ground with impossible deadlines, fire all their original employees and then viciously exploit their once loved franchises until they are nothing but a hollow husk of what they once were. Basically the corporate version of a pack of locusts, devouring everything in their path until they run out of food (In EA's case money) and die.

The problem with Origin is that it's Steam from 6 years ago and therefore it sucks.

If that's the case then why aren't all companies taking part in the money grubbing douche-baggery?

Honestly? That service happens to be happens to be created by EA and BW is a division of EA. So they are supposed to know what is going on and have the means to find out. We don't. Their silence is speaking volumes. Origin software may or may not be required to run the game - no matter whether you bought the digital or retail version. Even running it once would be bad and it wouldn't matter if you could uninstall it afterwards. Unknown data would already be collected. But we don't know any of that. It is about time that we users know exactly what is going on, what data is collected, whether the service or any of its components are optional, etc. If you don't care then simply stay out of the discussion. If my privacy is being violated then I don't need people like you to defend that.

Because EA is a publicly traded company beholden to its shareholders which ends up in big publishers/developers becoming more and more risk averse and simply pumping out the latest copycat product in an attempt to sell 10 million copies to the broadest most focus tested audience possible.

I've got no problem with a company trying to make money, but with EA it seems they're designing stuff such that its focus tested into generic mush and when they do try to take a risk, the product is pushed out the door too soon to meet some shareholder driven fiscal deadline.
