Origin is generally the same kind of thing as steam, just run by a different company.

No, I did not.
--- Quote from: Starcraftman on September 30, 2011, 03:51:09 PM ---Also, buying the game from origin would only support the propagation of stuffty digital download services, which would effectively give the PC platform the equivalent of xbox VS ps3.

What I am complaining about is that if the trend of game publishers exclusively putting their games on their own digital distribution platform, then PC will become just like Xbox and PS3, with different games being only on their respective download service. I never said anything about DRM because having DRM is implied with having a digital distribution platform.
Qwepir:
I don't see the terrible problem with that, seeing as the distribution platforms are free.
Starcraftman:
You don't have a problem with switching between different programs to play games and managing your friends lists between platforms?
Qwepir:
My hub account would be on steam. Any friends I make I would have add me on steam. If they don't have steam, oh well.
