Origin >> Steam

Origin offers game that people actually want, where as Steam does offer a larger array of games but they are not up to par as Origins list of games.

Origin >> Steam and oh just because Valve made overrated games like CS, L4D, and Portal doesn't make their service better.

Yep greater at everything except game library size, game library quality, game prices, community size, in-game overlay, specials, management, and parent company.General_X

Funny how you say community size, Steam has been out since 2004. I'd hope the community would be bigger seeing that its been out for that long. Steam lowers the price on games a lot, yeah. But really, who wants to play stuff like this http://store.steampowered.com/agecheck/app/16720/.

Steam throws a lot of stuff like that in your face, the games people actually want to play don't get price drops that actually matter. When origin does a special its 50% off on EVERYTHING, not only some games that Valve wants to sell.

EA has a way more money than Valve btw.

If you say so...

Get a stable PC or learn to overclock better, pro tip.

With games like MoH Warfighter, NFS Most Wanted, Crysis 3 and Dead Space 3 being exclusive to Origin I see no reason as to why Origin won't become the industry standard for PC. The transition is already underway, SWTOR and BF3 kicked started the change, trust me. EA makes games people want way more than Valve does.

Rivetting tale, chap.

Those games aren't exclusive to Origin, they're exclusive to every DD service not called Steam.

origin only exists because you are forced to use it if you want to play some of EAs most popular games otherwise if it wasnt pushed on us we all would be wondering what Origin is.

Meh

Gog owns them both

Hilarious to watch fanboys argue about what flavor DRM they want up their rectums.

Low-grade feebs.

ZombieKiller7

Look at that,Zombie post I fully agree with...

Yeah,GoG is the only DD service I can fully support,due to their anti-DRM policy,and I REALLY hope they can manage to expand more in the future,and become influential enough to easily provide us with DRM-free new releases...

I do not trust origin on my PC and is why I will NEVER install it.

The first thing that I think of when Origin comes to mind is being forced onto a pinball machine.

OP is a genius... Steam is crap...

I mean, really, who wants to buy games at a discount anyway?

Why would I buy the ENTIRE GTA franchise (from GTA1 to GTAIV Stories) for 10$?

Why should I buy Company of Heroes with all expansions for 10$? Who the heck wants to play Just Cause 2 for 7$, or Borderlands GOTY edition for 12$?

Who in his right mind would buy a complete catalogue of a company for 20% of the price?

Who wants that crap when you can play The Sims???

Also, Steam is crappy because it lets you keep your games library forever ( even if you don't play it at all ), but on the other hand Origin revokes your game license after a year if you don't play it, because they realize you don't want to play that particular game anyway and they're actually doing you a favor.

Yeah, Steam is crap...

Obvious troll thread is obvious. Origin is dirt and I'd rather flush my money down a big toilet than give it to EA. Now if you'll excuse me I'm off to play my copy of CoH that I bought for 2 euros off Steam...

[QUOTE="DanielDust"]If it's about trusting software on your PC, I have bad news, Steam gathers more information from your PC than Origin. You don't agree/disagree to have Steam monitoring your entire PC (games, hardware, network and 3rd party applications that are in no way related to games), you only agree/disagree to make "some" of them public. It was and still is, just hypocrisy and denial (Origin wouldn't be popular ever because I don't use it for anything but games I'm forced to which is exactly...Steam).Zlychop

But your initial argument was, let me quote:

"Origin >> Steam"

Are we still comparing these two? Or has the discussion moved on to a different topic (The pros/cons of digital distribution)?

Stay on topic: which of those two (Origin, Steam) is the LESSER EVIL? Please answer :)

the only thing origin does better than steam is offline mode.

Actually EA has no money, as they had huge losses for three years straight before finally making profit last year.

Origin >>>>>>>> Steam

... because I find this goofy cache folder that was lost and I had to redownload the entire bf3! Brilliant, whilst I had never reinstalled tf2 for 2 years+ after moving the file from different harddrives, different os installs, and motherboard swap.

That's how you sound to most people, son.

Can't believe it's summer already...

Valve care more about customers and make better games, I'd rather give them money.

ok because steam puts a crappy game on sell for a buck and a queater= bad company? NO, EVERYGAME gets a chance to be the highlight of the day.

i have no clue about the community size BUT size can't grow because of time... 2: steam dominates pc sales, so i say it's pretty big.

origin will throw 50% sale once in the blue moon... with steam one game is always one sale 50-75%. Then 2 games midweeek sale, Then atleast once a month a publishers sale WHERE everything is 50+++% off. Don't get me started on the holidays...

ea has more money lol. Don't mean they make good choices. Ea has been falling for years...

Uhm, who honestly cares?

I think there is one thing we can all agree on and that is: everything is better than that PoS, GFWL. Amirite or amirite?
