I just realized that I was kind of off-topic with my last two posts. However - I think we should ask the question regarding Origin slightly differently: What are the benefits to us, as customers, by having to install Origin? I think the dabate needs a different spin.
For those who want digital download portals, fine, embrace it;
The benefit to me for installing Origin is
zero, or even negative. I want a digital download of it, but I do not want to be
forced into using Origin (a piece of software that has existed in one form or another for almost as long as Steam, but is many times worse, in my opinion). I also want choice in what portal I use. EA is preventing this choice, and as I've said before is anti-consumer, both in this, and the single Point of Sale of Mass Effect/Dragon Age DLC.

but those you who prefer a physical copy and hassle-free installations and playing,
Indeed. Again, there is a lack of choice here, which is not here by accident, but by EA
forcing Origin to be used for both retail and digital downloads.
