Why would anyone use Origin?

[SimbaSeven]

After looking at the prices over at Origin, I was like "Who would ever use this service since Steam has better deals?"

Anyone else feel the same?

I don't mind there being several game clients in my computer. I have about one third of my games are non-steam version. And I think you won't get positive reviews for Origins as this is a Steam forum and full of loyal fans of Steam. lol.

No. Not even close.

and origin is probably cheap i may be wrong

[Asuka99]

Games sold on Origins are not cheaper or more than Steam.

Ummm Origin has like 20 games total, Steam has about 1,850 or more -.-
They don't even have every single EA game, just ones that were released in the past few years.

The number of the games is not the keypoint. If you haven't enough time to play, 2,000 is nonsense to you.

Quick perusal of Origin shows at least 300 titles (including DLC) available on Origin

Ooh I went to check, and yeah there are. I remember there used to only be EA games though but it looks like they have The Walking Dead, Resident Evil, and others now.

In a huge online gaming community, variety wins. No one is going to seek all 2,000 titles, but all 2,000 titles will probably be played.

If so, you should use PS3 or Xbox 360 becasue there are more games, more people playing and bigger gamers's community.

Origins is smaller due to established late than Steam. But the situation is changing. Steam will not always be the only monoploy in the digital gaming world. For the reason of growing up, some unique games like BF3 is an effective strategy.

hate origin just because it is EA, they are good at destroying industry

Origin doesn't suck and it does run cleaner and faster than Steam... but that is due to the fact that less people use Origin than Steam. Steam actually has a good community of people and a service that actually provides. Origin, from what I have noticed, is mostly 14 year olds dividing by clans with obscure names and a staff that doesn't help at all. They point a finger and expect you to figure out a problem yourself.
Another issue is that Origin does tend to crash during gameplay and doesn't always connect to EA all the time.
