And I paid $15.99 during the steam sale.

^ Are you really that angry that you overspent by $3.20?

Lol. It's just that it's so typical for me, generally if I buy anything it goes on sale 5-20 bucks less within a week.

Actually, apparently, you can.

Crysis 2 comes with EA's Origin Crap Requirement. I'm fighting with GF right now asking for a refund.

I couldn't even load the game without downloading Origin and never activated it. Not sure if I'll have any luck.

Yes because Origin is THAT bad. NOT.

Irony · Aug 13, 2012, 09:20 PM

Okay, I despise EA as well but still, origin does all the same things as steam. I use it for a couple of games. I have an idea, you can give the game to someone who doesn't hate origin just for the heck of it being related to ea.

If you don't get anywhere with a refund do a giveaway here on TPU if you are that bothered by Origin.

manofthem · Aug 13, 2012, 11:08 PM

Gamersgate has King Arthur II - The Role Playing Wargame for $2.99, DRM free so no activation on Steam.

Plus, I like this idea:

jpierce55 · Aug 13, 2012, 11:32 PM

I found Origin to be very basic and not that bad actually, it is not a giant obtrusive bloatware.

manofthem · Aug 14, 2012, 05:56 PM

Dead Space Midweek Madness on Steam yet again
Dead Space $4.99
Dead Space 2 $4.99
Definitely worth it for these games if you have not yet enjoyed them!

Well as long as you don't pirate games/software then you are perfectly fine so why not suck it up and deal with it? If I have to agree to their terms of service to use my content then fuck what it says I paid for it so I agree. I don't have anything to hide so they can look all they want on the other hand if someone does have something to hide I can see why they would be SO against agreeing to Origin's invasive nature.

Chevalr1c · Aug 14, 2012, 09:24 PM

The problem with a sniffing EA is that it leaves a potential backdoor if Origin gets cracked ("hacked" as some folks put it). Interference into one's PC by Steam, Origin etc. should be limited to an absolute minimum.
