That said, Origin 9.0 – a self-described “landmark update” – isn’t exactly encouraging. Once it rolls out, you’ll gain access to a free-floating friends list, re-sizable game icons, and, er, a clock.

A clock.
Truly EA are the great visionaries of our time.

I hope the next "Landmark Update" of Origin includes an option to download Steam during install.

Unless they stop making me open a browser to run BF3, nothing they do can change my mind as this point. I am done with EA on PC.

Last EA game I will ever buy (if they keep this up) will be NHL 13.

I think the problem of not improving fast enough for some people is a better problem than flat out not working.

Its kind of weird that it is actually being both criticized for being functional as well as being made more user friendly in this article though.

Then again, this is RPS (a Steam affiliate) and this was basically an opinion piece.

“Origin 9.0 is nearly here! In the coming days, we’ll be rolling out a landmark update to millions of Origin users worldwide, beginning with players who have opted in to beta updates and going live for everyone else soon thereafter. Your suggestions and feedback over the past few months have driven many of the changes you’ll see in Origin 9.0. We’ve added a clock to Origin In-Game, increased your control over your My Games library, and made our menus more navigable.”.

shouldn't really call us Origin users, just people who wanted to play Battlefield 3 and got stuck with some crappy program

[RS] Origin’s Landmark 9.0 Update.

I honestly love this cooler, but I think I'm gonna move on to another one soon, it just looks... A bit to bland compared to other flaming red (literally) coolers on the market.

Metro 2033 is one of the greatest FPS games ever made. Although not usually recognized as such, due to the horrible state the gaming industry is in, it succeeds largely on its storytelling,...
