Does anyone else feel annoyed about having to have a Origin account.....

just to play some EA games? Idk. Maybe I'm weird like that. I just don't like having to have a Steam and Origin. I wish I could just stick with one and be able to get everything from just that one. Thats the only thing I give my PS3 a positive for next to its exclusives.

God forbid people having two websites to remember and play games on, I don't wanna live in that world. I can deal with hunger, but this...Junior_AIN

Anyone else feel annoyed about having to have a Steam account just to play Valve games?

See? Your logic works both ways and is quite useless.  No I'm not annoyed, I've since linked my origin games to steam shortcuts and its like it was never there in the first place.

I sure do. I dislike Origin AND EA. I also dislike having to spread out my gaming catalogue over more than 1 "store" which is one of the reasons. Only places I will ever buy games from is GOG and Steam. GoG having a special reason of why im willing to have my games spread out of 1 "store"

I feel annoyed about accounts, period. But then again, discs suck, too. I like what GOG is doing. Just give me DRM free games with no client BS and I'll back them up on a big ass HDD.

If I wanted to play in a closed environment, I'd stick to playing on my PS3. That and if it had any games worth playing.

Origin is very good though, fast and lightweight and crazy fast downloads. 40 MB/s downloads (320 Mb/s) on my university's internet

It always worked well for me, better than steam (in fact, much better). It's just the store that isn't very good.

Not really, the only game I have on it is ME3 anyways.

if you're going to be annoyed, then be annoyed you need an account with a third party application at all just to access a video game.

No.

I instead feel annoyed about having to need a steam account for almost any game.

I am not annoyed by Origin by Electronic Arts. That said, I have Steam and a PlayStation 3. When I learned EA does not use Steam anymore for its computer games and instead utilizes its own client called Origin, I decided that I will only buy console versions of its video games. Having multiple clients on my personal computer for video games is not interesting to me. I would rather have one.

Nope, don't have a problem with it. 

Origin only? No, but i am annoyed as fvck that i have to have a steam, origin and uplay account just to play my damn games. I just want to install and play without any signing up or crap like that. Can't i just play my fvcking game? want to play "x"? Please sign in to steam--origin--uplay--first....:evil:

anyone else annoyed about having to install games to be able to play them?yellosnolvr

i have origin game key codes but i'm not going to get an account for it yet. people said they scan your pc and spy on you and maybe even give your information to other companies. i don't know if that is true or not, but it sure makes me feel uncomfortable.

Yup never liked it. Still don't.

I am, thus why EA makes next to zero money from me since they dropped they shitbomb they call origin.jer_1

I'm tired of having a bank account. Anybody want to take it off my hands?nutcrackr

Ughhhhh.....ok ok, I guess I can do that for you....

But you have to pay me for it...

I used to be a PC Gamer and I must say that you lazy bastsards have gotten weak and pathetic, back in my day (2008) we wouldn't let sh!t like Steam & Origin fly, its not a client its DRM and DRM (& piracy ofcourse) is the enemy. This "Its not my problem therefore its not anybody's problem" mentality people have is gona come back and bite you in ass.Lulu_Lulu

You need to stop living in the past dude...  digital distrubution is where it's at now.  It has it's benefits and also it's cons.

And why "used to be a PC Gamer"?  

are any of you guys even old enough to remember the days when you had to:

walk or drive to a store
walk into it, and be around people (UGH!)
browse various games under flourescent lightbulbs
occasionally lift your arms and rotate your wrist to look at the box and packaging for a detailed view (swear to god, I think I got carpal tunnel from that shit...)
pick up the box with contents of desired game
approach retailer and hand physical currency in exchange for goods, while possibly being somewhat social (WTF is "social"? Like tweetering?)
return home, open box (usually in plastic wrap), take out CD case, unwrap CD case (also in plastic wrap), and then install onto computer.

Now THAT was annoying.

Why, back in my day, I had to do that once, twice a month.  Uphill.  Both ways.  In the snow!
