Looks like Origin might be a good competitor to Valve’s Steam after all. Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, THQ and Capcom have signed on to be the first third-party game developers to offer games via Origin. This is a very interesting development.

i dont think origin will ever be as good as steam, especially with the steam deals
Origin is a complete pile of crap. It is clunky, and generally a nuisance to use. Steam has been around for many many years, they know what they are doing, they already have all the big companies publishing their games there, people developing specifically for their system and millions of users who are actively using it. Origin is honestly just a complete bother for most as they already use Steam. The only reason I have Original is to play Battlefield 3, if EA weren’t such holes and just released it on Steam then I wouldn’t touch the program.
Go DIAF, Origin.
I booted up Origin the other day for the SimPoints deal. Yeah…I quickly closed out of it. Honestly, I don’t see the point in it and don’t really care to have another digital game distributor. I’ll stick with Steam.
I like Steam, just EA put their prices too high, so it puts me off. Also, in the UK, we don’t get physical copies.
*I like origin
