Well as much shit as I give EA (and well-deserved in my view), credit where due - they have really turned Origin into an excellent platform, and Access is a great deal. In may ways it is superior to Steam, but Steam was first and put in the features and fixes it needed to while Origin was still a shit-show. So Origin will always be a distant second.
