I tried Origin. But I didn't like it.
I disagree with one part of their ToS, for one, and there's not really many EA games I like that I can't get on console.
I'm definitely not getting ME3 for PC, but I will purchase it for my PS3. Just because EA's forcing it to be sold under Origin for the PC, and I completely disagree with that, doesn't mean I can't get it on console.
There not really forcing they decided after being told that they would be charged more for putting the product through Steam. So I can agree with them on that side.
The biggest issues I have with origin fall in the fine print.
By installing it, they get to periodically scan your computer for any software that they feel violates their terms of use. If they find it, you're subject to having your account deactivated.
Also, they reserve the right to force you to re-purchase a game as early as six months after your initial purchase. Full price, paid twice (Or More) for one game seems excessive and wrong. I refuse to buy rentware from anyone, ever.
You mean this?

Origin! say no more. been playing Swtor a while now and origin are awful.
You do know you dont need to launch the game through origin right if it is a problem for you, only game that i have played lately that require origin to be active is BF3, my swtor runs just fine with out origin on, but i did get the retail version incase you got the DD version then it is your own fault about origin having to run.
On a different note i have got no issues with origin compared to Steam, great support when needed and games download fast and the auto patch seems to work well, cant complain about it even during the bf3 launch period it ran quite smooth.
So Origin or not im not worried at all about ME3, what i am worried about is the river of tears about day 1 DLC's come on people get over it, the game is complete if they release it,it is there call not our call what is 100% of the game.
