Origin is an inferior product to Steam and probably Impulse. It is barebones and provides almost no reason to use it. The best thing one can say about it is that you aren't required to use it which is pretty fucking funny. EA can provide a much better client but I'm sure they will half ass this like so many other things over the years. They flail around through trends like a headless chicken, it would be funny if they didn't have such an impact on everyone else.

There are countless features EA could offer with Origin but they aren't interested in innovation, just the bare minimum to reach parity. That's why Origin will never succeed and EA will continue to be a follower instead of a market leader.
