I don't like origin or steam. I was totally mad about nv forcing me to install steam and I am still mad about me3 forcing me to install origin. however since I was getting a DRM free copy of WL2 with my funding (right?) that does not concern me.
I do outright hate ea for everything they stand for, for killing bullfrog, westwood, origin systems (then even pissing on their dead corpse by using the name for that distribution platform), and see what they are doing to bioware.
I feel another company I once liked going down the drain.
So with these news I have mixed feelings.
good: hopefully WL2 will sell more copies, be more successful and make future projects more likely
bad: ea, even without taking money is increasing their origin portfolio and thus it benefits them (And I would really like to see that company burned to the ground)
