Good thing I cancelled my EA Access thingy a while ago, I guess. It was a pretty good deal in several ways, though.
Not for me, because I don't actually take much advantage of it - but if you wanted the stuff, it was quite reasonable.
As for Origin, it's a very solid platform. Much better than, say, GOG or Uplay - which are just terrible.
Can't say I'm registering any emotional response to the software, though. I mean, to me - it's not too interesting if I launch a game from a platform serving one corporation looking to generate a profit or another.
That said, I would definitely prefer a single platform handling all my games and keeping them up-to-date, etc.
Obviously, not going to happen.
Within this context, I care if something is worth my money. If it is, I buy it - if not, well….
The actual launch platform is entirely free and can be turned off when it's not needed. It's also very efficient and simple to use, I find.
It might be the best of the bunch, though I concede I have no special love of launch platforms.
It's sort of like operating systems. I really don't care which one I use, just as long as I can do what I need to do - and want to do.
