Well, Origin has one thing going for it in comparison to Steam:
I can PLAY my fucking games while DOWNLOADING/INSTALLING other ones.
SERIOUSLY steam, why can't you do both at the same fucking time, too? I DO NOT UNDERSTAND IT. Shit I wanted to play some other games I had while waiting for skyrim, BUT NO. I COULD NOT. And I didn't really feel like playing my non-steam games.
So, yeah, Origin isn't retarded in that aspect.
Otherwise they publish lots of games that I like. Yaaay.
