Congratulations on turning a 14 yr hardcore fan of Bioware who has bought every game and almost all extras to pirating. Cheers.


If that's the kind of fan you are, they're better off without you. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Also done with this thread. Have fun.

What a factually viewpoint, Ottemis. Must I understand this?

Meh. I'll see if I can get it used on console from gamestop.

Yes I'd rather give Gamestop money than EA at this point.

I was commenting on the pirating part of the statement smart-ass.
Wouldn't have been hard to follow seeing as I said something similar in responce to someone else not 20 minutes ago?
I know it's hard, but try to pay attention?

I'll do it for three reasons first being I'm bored, second being people have insinuated that when people in here said most of the ones making such threats tend to actually not stick to the threats they make on BSN, they called them mistaken. They are not mistaken and as saidearlier I have seen it happen many times and in order to not have them make that same insinuation again there will be evidence to back it up. The last reason is simply out of curiousity just how many people are all bark and no bite (that one I admit is a little creepy but the rest imho are fine).

I'm curious... are people just mad because they don't want EA to see all the pirated software on their computers??


I can't speak for everyone else, but I am extremely anti-piracy and do not pirate at all.  I just like my privacy and the right to actually own games I buy without the worry that my access to them might be removed at anytime ... without the ability to protest said denied access.

I don't like people scanning through my PC. I perform most of my assignments and freelancing work on it, and I use E-banking. This is a breach of my privacy. Now, what I don't understand is, why do I require origin when I have a physical copy of the game? I would even understand it if it were required for a Digital version, but a physical version where I have both a physical, and electronic receipt of purchase - that just does not compute.


Not to mention they screwed up Command and Conquer 4! I was really looking forward to it! It was S***.

Tempted to just get a used copy for the PS3. Sad that my ME1+2 PC saves can't be transfered over :(

Even though i'm just one person i'd like them to know i'm dissatisfied hugely with their decision. It is a clear EA tactic to force people to adopt an inferior service. I feel sorry that Bioware is forced to do so due to their publisher.

I will buy ME3, in fact buying three copies and I am going to take down all the names of every single person who has said wont buy, lost customer and cancelled pre-order in this thread so that the people who said it is a fallacy that people use threats and huff and puff do not exist on BSN will be shown the light next time they call me mistaken at the time ME3 is released and those same people are playing it, have bought it and did pre-order. I have seen it time and time again on here and while at the time I did not write down the names of all those who claimed those made threats at the time I do recall most of them did not in fact carry out their threats.

So your response to people complaining that this is spyware and that they like their privacy to compile a list to track their purchases? I really hope this is hyperbole otherwise it is way beyond necessary to make your point and very creepy.


it is not....this is the bsn

I guess for the same stupid reason Steam does it.

Ra forbid you not use their DD service. Ra forbid. <_<

Don't act like they're making you do anything.  You pirate because you choose to pirate, period. You have every right to refuse to buy the game if you disagree with EA's conditions, but that doesn't mean you're entitled to it for free.

Quoted because this is the common concern that most pro-Origin users don't see.

At least I can control that somewhat. Starforce breaking my computer or Ubisoft dangling a dog leash as entrance prerequisite? I got no say in the matter aside from grin and bear it or walk away.

I think if you get it for Xbox you can convert your PC saves into Xbox saves using gibbed.

Ugh I think I'm more upset over the fact that ME3 will get review-bombed simply because of Origins and nothing else. It's a pity that the Mass Effect team will end this with a massive backlash from gamers.

Uh just screw you EA. The team really deserves better.


Yeah, we'll probably end up with something like what happened to BF3 on the german amazon. Shame, but neither unexpected nor completely undeserved on EA's part.

Don't own one. Can't afford another console when most titles are already covered with PC and PS3..

Six years ago, at the height of my spyware paranoia, I would have freaked out at this news.

Then Ubisoft came along, first with Starforce; computer-breaking DRM created by colossal douches, then their infamous internet leash DRM. I've also since then learned a few things about the internet advertising businesd.

Now, anything short of going Ubisoft doesn't sound so terrible anymore, so I'm still buying ME3 for PC. Can't imagine what information EA collects and what they do with them could be any worse than what websites I frequent usually collect.

Besides, I use my gaming PC ONLY for gaming. All my private information are on my laptop, which does not have Origin. A purely 2-year-old coincidence I've never realised until now. Collect away.


A good example of consumer apathy.

I think that EA and DRM companies are hedging that most consumers will take this tact. Me? I am pretty disgusted with the extremes that gaming industry, EA included, have taken DRM enforcement. I simply wont purchase games that force unreasonable DRM solutions on me and thats why I only own two EA games. Its invasive to the average consumer and arguably doesnt deter piracy. I am sure there is a more consumer friendly approach in guarding against piracy, but that would be the sensible thing to do. Instead the industry has opted for the Orwellian approach: 2+2=5.

Your missing the point that most of these people who will end up pirating the game are normally AGAINST pirating and would gladly give their money for quality products.  The guy was a 14 year loyal customer FFS, you treat that like it is worth nothing.

Don't get mad at people because they value their privacy, jr.

I WANT TO BUY AND PLAY ME3.

I want to purchase your product, EA. I want to use it, and see the end of the story arc. 

I want to give you money in fair exchange for a good that I will enjoy using.   I want to buy a physical copy, that I have in my possession and control for my personal use. 

Sadly, as long as it requires even a whiff of Origin software, I cannot and will not purchase your product, install your product, or use your product.   You will not receive my money.  You will make less money because you are requiring Origin. 

You are not stopping a high-seas raider.  I do not engage in such acts, encourage such acts, or condone such acts.  Requiring Origin will not stop high-seas raiders.  They will still do what they do, sadly. 


Nothing to add to this.

So, should I just switch over my pre-oder to an x-box version and steal my brother's while he's out working of a day? Would that just be easier? Despite the fact that I'll lose all my saves and actually fine X-box controls difficult if not downright impossible to use?
