And what happened to Sony who actually lost my credit card details? I don't see any major lawsuit happening?! Use something safe like Paypal if you are worried about hackers stealing your details but then again have you bought anything off the Internet? If the answer is yes then Chinese evil hackers can steal your credit card, birth certificate and basically all the legal documents that make you who you are.

Origin can be used offline, which I do all the time as I work offshore and can only access the internet properly through one computer which is hardwired to a certain firewall.

This thread is a carbon copy of all the threads that hung around the Internet around the time that Half Life 2 FORCED YOU, THE CONSUMER, TO INSTALL STEAM IF YOU WANTED TO PLAY THE GAME. People never complained when we had to install Gamespy or any other stupid application so we can play a game.

Anyhow for me, a European Consumer, the clause that forbids me from suing them and them checking my computer, without options, is illegal according to the European Law and as such if EA screws me I have the European Court to back me up. The same court that forced Microsoft to stop forcing people to have IE on their PCs.

Origin is the same as Steam for me, just with a smaller catalogue. Any other complaining is simple hypocrisy or people forgetting that Valve forced the same thing onto us just as EA with Origin in BF3.

Akon, there is an anti-Origin thred already.
And still, I couldn't agree with you more.
If Bioware won't "pull a gandalf" on Origin, I'll crack my CE pre-order.
Like you, I pay for my games with money, not with my privacy.

Sorry for being a noob here, but this doesn't affect consoles, right? If not, I'm safe (not all that sure what Origin entails for you PC players but I don't want ME3 to be worse for you nonetheless).

The loss of instruction manuals in EA games is frustrating enough, and now this.

No the console companies spy on you the same way they have always done before.

Yes, their next step will be conecting consoles to PC, and require to install origins on PC and have it linked to the console for you to be able to play.

Another great example of why I don't buy games for the PC if it is available on the consoles.

I don't do Steam for two reasons, no physical copy, malware/spyware.

I had enough. I dont want to spend my time protecting my system from a legale copy of a game. They just going to far.
They making it harder and harder to just enjoy a game without having to think about.

This.

@D.Kain Surely EA would lose money by forcing console players to install Origin on a PC (what if they don't even have one?). Surely it'll get to a point where people stop buying EA games altogether.

I cancelled my pre order when the multi player part was announced. My plan was to wait and buy the game when it was half prize. But whit origin required I'm not going to buy it at all.

The ME series is my favourite and I have 27 Shepard I have played true ME, imported to ME2 and played whit all the DLC's, but you have to drew a line somewhere, even the stupid lines.

I lol'd. Funnily enough, you can't play Indie games on 360 offline...

Difference between console and PC is that you usually don't have sensitive information or anything really private on your goddamn console

Except for your credit card number.

No one.  In fact, Jesse Houston said you don't:

@gtez in your Origin FAQ can you answer whether we will require a persistent Internet connection to play the single player campaign, cheers

@CharmingCharli3 That I don't need to answer cause we aren't! It's Single Player fer pete's sake.

I never said I wouldn't play it, but I will not buy it. I am going to borrow it at the local library for the PS3.

I'll be thoroughly perturbed if Origin requires a constant net access.... it's the main reason I refuse to buy any Ubisoft games for PC (they require always on internet connection as a form of DRM).

Origin has an offline mode. I don't use it because I hardly ever have Origin running in the first place.  None of the games I've downloaded the digital copies of require it (ME1, ME2, DAO, DA2).

BUY the game, then crack it, so it plays offline.

This is what I have in mind...

[Arcadian Legend]

Wouldn't it be better to take this protest to the EA site rather than here? (Granted I don't know the situation there) because I'm sure all Bioware is thinking about this Origin stuff right now (though obviously I cant speak for them, just saying I'm being semi-serious before anyone gets butthurt) is

There is probably little BW can do about this is all I'm saying. Redirect your grievances, at this rate it won't be long before I don't give a damn at this rate, and I ALWAYS try to give a damn.

 I'm starting to regret posting that pic. Plus he was joking. I don't think anyone actually read my post...
