With ME3 not being on Steam it loses millions of customers I bet.

Just saying, I'm a hardcore Xbox 360 gamer does that mean I have to put up with Origin or what just to play?

All I want to know is if you can uninstall Origin after you authenticate your game and still play single player. I have no interest in multiplayer so that is not a concern.

I doubt it.

Unlike PC they don't really force the whole internet activation crap on Xboxers/PS3ers. Not yet anyway.

For those who are wary of what Origin might scan: Will using Sandboxie, firewall settings, password protecting folders, etc, for privacy/security, be considered as an attempt to circumvent DRM?

Well, if EA wants to lose hundreds of thousands, if not potentially million(s) of Steam sales, they're free to do it. However, forcing Origin on copies sole everywhere else, is a whole different thing

As long as Microsoft and Sony are the master of their own consoles, EA will have nothing to say on those platforms.

Seriously?! I just want to instal the game regularly on my PC without linking it to Origin and you're now saying it's not going to be possible? Oh yeah, start saying how Steam limits you on delivering DLC and patches but we'll be stuck on Origin. Developers are now even limiting players on how they can instal and play their game? I actually thought Bioware made games to fulfil the needs of the customer, my bad.

Maybe they'll even pull a Battlefield 3 and make us go through Origin that leads to site which serves as you main menu. Awesome...

Seriously there's people that will not play the PC version only because of Origin?

Just because the program picks some information on your PC?

Yes, because I don't want to share some informations. As simple is that.

I'm fine with this but every major company today gathers "illegal" information from their users: Facebook, Microsoft, Google...even information you send from your cellphone is intercepted somewhere.

If I become paranoid about all this stuff I would live in a cave right now.

Tbh, I don't know why they lock these threads. All that happens is people make more. Forcing Origin/No release on Steam are issues for us, and continual locking of threads isn't going to make the issues go away. It just annoys people.

I fail to see how that's circumventing DRM personally.

Basically, yes.

I wouldn't say millions. Probably like 75,000-100,000 customers still a decent chunk of change though. However if they have millions buying their DLC direct from them it probably curbs the loss.

I thought they updated the EULA in August that prevented them from giving our your information to anyone but EA.

Wait...you can't opt out of the data collection in general? 

Of course not. EA wants free marketing data and they won't stop unless they're forced like in Germany

What I don't understand is why someone else doesn't force them too? Why hasn't this been a big issue in the US? Isn't there supposed to be laws against this or something?

As if the US gov't really cares. I'd be surprised if they weren't doing things like this themselves.

US is busy trying to break the internet with SOPA.

The sad thing is that this will have a negligible impact on sales. Most people don't give a damn, which is why companies get away with this BS.

They did. It really is no worse than every other major online thing now.

We need an answer on this ASAP.

To Chris Priestly:

1) If we do not intend to use multiplayer, can we uninstall Origin after completing one time single authorization for the single player game?

2) Also, will I have to install Origin EVERY TIME I install Mass Effect 3, or after one time single authorization I will no longer have to install Origin ever again?

I don't support this kind of DRM at all, hence I don't use Steam and don't buy games with Steamworks.

Sadly.

Guess its time to get a seperate comp for gaming.

Though frankly I find the whole "you must download X to your comp to play the game." far more irritating than any datamining. Why if I buy a BOXED copy of the game have to waste time downloading a DD service that I'll NEVER USE?

It has more issues than just the datamining. That's my main concern, but there are others that are more important to other people. Origin is a mess, and it's not coming near my computer.
