On August 24 2011, EA revised its End User License Agreement, removing several of the controversial sections. They released a statement saying that they had no intention to sell marketing data to third parties, nor install software akin to spyware on its customers PCs. The specific changes to the EULA removed EA's right to transfer collected data to third party users, and clarified that they would only collect application data related to Origin itself. -wikipedia I blame the media.

But I still don't like software companies passively collecting information about my system. If they want to know then they can make up a website where we can specify what games we own, the kinds we favor, our hardware, etc. If they don't get enough feedback, tough. You don't go digging through someone's trash to learn about them just because they didn't fill out a voluntary form. They can even just make it a checkbox option in Origin--there's no need to reserve the right by contract. Just a simple UI page where you can toggle whether you want to share information. Maybe even what kind.

FUCK THAT SHIT Edit :funny reading of it , 5:30 http://www.youtube.com/w...MPyDOE&feature=feeduit doesn't change the fact that most people think Jews are much like the Ferengi of Star Trek.

Even if it allows you to set things like visual settings in a central place for all Origin games (which is the only positive I could see this offer) a person may not WANT the same settings for every game. And if the settings are still per game, why take it out of the game? Ah well. I wasn't buying BC3, anyway. I've progressively lost interest in the series the more it focuses on modern warfare, which really doesn't interest me that much. But there are other EA games I'd have liked to get that I probably won't if they're really taking stupid direction after stupid direction.

origins dose not have a shit tab thing like steam so it means you would need to tab out or force close the program in order do do what ever you need to .. Yea i wasn't going to buy bf3 anyways but this will just make me avoid EA all together even on steam it doesn't change the fact that most people think Jews are much like the Ferengi of Star Trek.

Man, EA sure is going to turn away a lot of potential players from a game that's supposed to actually look and play great on the PC...  Quote:Razor: As hard as one might try no one will ever be able to pull one over on Super Penguin. Backpack of Win

Dragons Nest is a fun game! You can launch it through the website OR you could just make a shortcut to the .exe file. Either you log in on the website or you log in on the game client. Doesn't matter, but I kind of like checking the website for updates and such. Vindictus is more fun than Dragons Nest though. =O If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe. - Carl Sagan My Backpack
