What the reason you HATE Origin?

its expensive, generally selling ea games which i really hate them, and lastly its interface and library f..ked up.

Why many people hate Origin

Origin is far from perfect and there are some features that it's missing, but I only want it to list my games and let me play them. I buy my games elsewhere these days, rarely from Steam/Origin/Uplay/etc.

I don't hate it.

I have no problem with Origin. I was pissed I needed it for BF3 because I simply like all my games in the same client.
But cant say there's anything wrong with it.
And because Steam is down so often lately I'm happy I can switch to origin to play some Battlefield 4 ;)

I don't hate it, but here are a few main problems for me.

No huge sales because they feel it "devalues" video games
Can't have an Origin game on steam.(I have Sims 3 on origin from a bundle and can't get DLC on sale from Steam.)
Still sales old sports games and other "multiplayer" games that it no longer supports multiplayer for.
It's run by EA, and EA went from the greatest sporting company ever to.... well take your pick of problems.

Because it's EA and EA is the worst company out there. They're making crappy games and ruining good ones.
The prices there are ridiculous.
No good deals there. Only some small discounts and after that the game cost too much anyway.
No features like in steam, profiles, steam level, cards, market, discussions etc.
And the last one - it simply sucks.
That piece of crap origin is alive only because of BF series.

everyone hates origin because the only profit you get is the game :|

I don't hate it. I actually prefer it in some ways to Steam. It has a nicer design, and isn't as buggy. It also isn't bloated by things like Steam's level system.

Steam is better, but Steam has been around for 10 years. If you look at Steam when it was just 3 or so years old, it was utter crap. Origin is certainly an improvement. The majority of people that hate it do so because like Bobofatt said, they are either anti-EA circlejerkers or Steam-only snobs, and the majority of them use the same hypocritical arguments as reasoning.

Bad sales, downloads sometimes restart, the whole ''you download an installer then the game is installed'' thing that takes more HDD space than needed, can't organize my game collection, too many popups that ask me to buy DLCs for games I don't even own (or nagging to "give Titanfall a shot"), regional pricing that highly favors Americas (ex: Bad company 2 was 20$ in US, but 30eur in EU region, think it's sort-of fixed now), not even displaying some regions (I had to register as a UK customer since there's no Serbia).

Support is a so-so, I had some big issues with them not even answering my questions and leaving me with a used CD key or non working game until I started nagging them and finally getting through to a sane person that can actually read what I write in support tickets.

I don't hate it, because I never used it, and never will.

id say only the minority have a genuine reason for disliking origin, the rest jump on the bandwagon. origin is good and their support pisses all over steam support.

Don't hate it, just think it's a little annoying that I have to use multiple clients for games. Same goes for uPlay...and the same would go for Steam if it wasn't the first game library client on PC that I used.

Everyone is going to hate anything that isn't steam.

Mass effect trilogy does NOT contain a lot of DLC. And there is no such thing as complete pack.

EA. Nuff said.

origin has a much much much better customer care. They can solve your problems in minutes where with steam you wait for days( or weeks)

apart from that origin is worse in almost every aspect

I actually like Origin.
My games download much faster on it compared to Steam, and I like having a small streamlined game library. :U

just not a big fan of EA look at there FIFA games FIFA 10 FIFA 11 FIFA 12 FIFA 13 FIFA 14 it the same game every year with just small changes to kit then charge like £39.99 for the same basic game every year and thay do it with there hokey baseball American football games to so i feel thay like to shaft there customers by selling them the same game year at full price EA SUCK despite that i also have an Origin account but i only play need for speed and battlefield. at least they put more work in to them games than there sports games

I have no reason to hate Origin

EA (It's shit), DLC, User Interface (even the damn Battlelog) and it's a Steam copycat.

Origin needs much more system performance than steam and have less features (Like InGame browser and voice chat. Easily crash and have a lot of bugs.

You don't hate Origin, Origin hates you..

I love Origin since alongside Desura, Uplay and stuff (even if they're not focused on the same games) still makes Valve try to improve steam constantly, if they didn't exist and Steam was the only game destibution portal they might have just worked on it less than they do now.

• After a while, Origin clear your login id/password from the client, so you have to enter them over and over again.
• Uses Euro as currency.
• Not so useful
• Mostly, you can't redeem your old retail EA Games without contact support
