What makes this sad is that I only ever launch Origin (I still hate them for dragging that name through the mud) just to click on the newest "On The House" freebie to add it to my library & then close it. My entire library on Origin consists of nothing more than the on the house freebies & the occasionally rare humble bundle tack-on. Not to mention that I also have to sit through yet another 100mb patch for the damn system each & every time I launch it.
Most of the games I have on Origin... I'd rather play them on Steam or GOG. And in the particular cases where the game has an old cd boxed copy as the only alternative... I'd rather play that version of it instead. Origin is pain to use & a complete utter mess that makes it a headache just dealing with it.
One of the reasons I flock to Steam or GOG, besides the fact that both run beautifully for the most part, is that both offer their service to all publishers & developers. Does Origin publish anything other than EA's crap? I'm genuinely curious as I haven't looked on it for long enough to care.

Yeah I mostly just have freebies from various place on there as well. I think the only game I've bought on Origin was Crysis 3 when I wanted to give my new PC a proper test run.

Mass Effect 3 for me

Nedan, I'd mostly agree with you if it weren't for how Mass Effect 1/2 DLC is handled on any system other than Origin. I will use Origin for those two games.

The fuck. I just launched Origin like 2 days ago and it needs ANOTHER 92mb update.

I had a lot of fun with NFS most wanted in a Lan situation. Single player probly not as good.

Odd. Didn't get an email from EA this time. Usually get one whenever a new games up for free.
Thanks henke :).

Medal of Honor Pacific Assault is the next game up for free for a short time.

Dungeon Keeper is the next game up for a short time. Grab it while you can, as it's awesome.
