Valve isn't a company made only to satisfy gamers, it's a company that like ANY other company, wants to earn the most money
I have to agree with Wooly4 here. Even though every company is out to make money there's some that have a passion for what they do and some that don't. I like how Valve supports their games with free content and always aim to make games that are unique. I think being all about the money is bad and tends to make companies lose their sight on creating innovative and fun content. Giving too much away for free is bad business. I like it when companies find that middle ground. I hope Origin makes EA become a better company by emulating steam.
I dont mind that EA has its own origin thing. I just really hope its not required if you buy BF3 retail. Whats the point of origin anyway? Other then downloading games, is there really a point to it? For talking to friends while gaming and stuff like that there is already Steam and xfire. I could see if it was only used to download the game, but i just dont get the rest. All of their other games did fine with out origin.

Its called competition vs the big mean moneymachine called steam
Yeah, thats true. But doesnt EA have enough money? Im sure they will make alot of money from sales on battlefield 3 alone. And im pretty sure that most of the PC community would prefer steam over origin. It just seems like a waste of time imo.
edit: Still, im gonna reserve all judgment till i actually try it out myself. It just seems like they are losing some sales for not putting it on steam. But i have to say, people really need to stop complaining about it. Other companies have to make money too.

A company can never get "enough" money.. If that were the case, they could just shut down now and live happily. Everyone wants more.
