Origin? Fine? We must be using completely different bloatware then because I've had a very different experience.
- Friend invites hardly ever get sent.
- It's completely useless for searching servers, often dumping me in empty matches.
- Games never update automatically, you learn about an update by being unable to connect to any server and realizing "Oh my game seems to be broken, must be another update."
- Origin also uses Punkbuster, which is utter crap. You also have to manually update this yourself, but guess what? It doesn't work either. You have to install *another* bloatware program specifcally for updating punkbuster.
To say Origin is "fine" is a lie. It isn't. It's riddled with annoying problems that makes gaming a hassle. And while I don't mind using other bloatware to run games, I DO mind when I have to jump through endless hoops just to get it running.
Retail copies of Battlefield 3 will also require Origin
