Buggy Mess, just like everything EA touches Horribly buggy mess of a gaming platform, just like everything else EA touches. The platform downloads games and patches at the pace of old people fu*king. I normally download at a rate between 20-30mbps, Origin downloads at 2-5mbps. Complete trash, avoid it if your game is available on Steam or another platform.

Accidentally Link the Wrong Steam Account? Good Luck, You'll Never Get to Connect Another Steam Account Again My husband accidentally connected his Steam to my Origin account and it's causing problems with his games/purchases. If we unlink, I can never connect my own//any Steam account ever again for as long as I live. I'm told "That's just the rule" and that you used to be able to link new Steam accounts, but EA changed the rules because "players were abusing it." Doesn't matter that ours was an case of accidentally connecting the wrong account and that I don't even play his games, we will never be able to play on the correct accounts. What an absolute crap excuse for a gaming application.

Worst than epic games Worst than epic games when starting up my computer it automatically opens which is annoying as hell. Another reason why origin sucks is because it always prevents your pc from shutting down. I cannot fix this issue.

EA App Over Origin? This is one of the worst online game stores. Not only is there such a limited selection of games, right down to the variety of genres (I'm still upset they got rid of so many good games in the "free games" section. A section I don't even think they have anymore) but everything that you purchase on this website is tied to EA. Which means, when you want to play that game you just purchased, you're gonna have to boot up that awful EA App that they're forcing on users now. That same EA App that has broken so many peoples games, that they don't even bother logging in anymore.

DO NOT BUY FROM ORIGIN! GO ELSEWHERE! I was finally able to contact an acual person on the phone for an issue with a game lagging so bad, we could NEVER play it. I explained my issue and after checking my system's info, he said that my computer was under the specs to play this game, which explains why we COULD NEVER PLAY IT. I asked for a refund or a credit for another game that we COULD play and after sending the dxDiag report to them, he told me that my request was denied because I waited too long to ask. I told him that their technology was seriously outdated if they could not tell that the game was never actually played. DO NOT BUY ANY GAMES FROM THEM!! SPEND YOUR MONEY WHERE THEY APPRECIATE THEIR CUSTOMERS!! I am spending my $$$$ somewhere else!
