Absolutely no fucking way. Any crowd-funded projects which purport to use Origin don't deserve funding in the first place. People don't fund projects so they can slap shitty, non-functional DRM on the fucking things.

I think there should be a set of standards in place which Kickstarter projects should sign up to. One of which is a declaration that Origin and Microshit's crappy GFWL will not be used.

Steam is barely acceptable, but there should probably be a timeout period after which the game should be offered without DRM.

The crowd-funding bubble is unlikely to last, but ensuring there's at least some greater indie power in the marketplace will require some pretty hard core ethics and standards. Without such things, you undermine confidence. And confidence my friends, is the key driver by which Kickstarter projects gain funding.
