If you are looking for sales, better off going with Amazon or Gamersgate.

In its current state Origin is more of a client than a store. Still lots of things it will need to sort out just like how Steam first launched. Undeniably the advantage of Origin is in its vast library of games by EA.

Yes. Apparently EA will be moving to make future games Origins exclusive. A damn shame really.

Same thing like how Valve are doing theirs with Steamworks. They are merely protecting their own interest as a commercial business. If they are willing to make third-party titles to be available on Origin then I would say they taking a right step in this.

True.

Right now though, Origins has plenty of bad rep to clear and a whole load of work to catch up with Steam. Which shouldn't be the case in the first place, since they already had like years to study Valve's business model.

You would think their service wouldn't be far behind Steam's. sweat.gif They have all the time in the world to study how it worked.

I don't like all this online stuff that make original user more susah to play thanthe pirate user, but at least Origin no need to change anything in router port for now while if you can't access the router set up page, then you can't connect to steam at all.

I never changed any port setting for Steam.
