I know I've heard that EA has given out free games for mistakes...though that was back in the EA Download Manager days. I remember being disappointed that it worked for me so I didn't get anything. Now days I am sure they are going to try their hardest to make Origin look as good as possible. So I am expecting the users will get something...but we will have to see if it happens.

The thing with Steam is that for every one person they completely rip off there are probably ten that they admitted the mistake and gave compensation to. EA has yet to acquire this reputation and so far has been not so good in many aspects. So they really aren't fan boys...they are just supporting a company that in a majority of cases has been good to their customers and are typically light handed with the ban stick.

Anyway, I so happy that things are starting to get cleared up and the bans lifted. I have been feeling really guilty...since I bought BF3 for $10 the other day. However that was the price I was waiting for it to be before buying it as from what little I've played that is all I think it is worth. I think BF2142 is about ten or twenty times better, but at $10 you can't go wrong. I now own three games on Origin and they are all on different accounts (Well, BF2142 was bought way before Origin existed, but they transferred my box key over to Origin.)

Still trying huh? 10-15% off the world's worst selection of games to choose from is quite literally getting nothing. I've gotten a few of their 'discounts' from having to deal with their support, never gotten a free game, nor heard of a free game (discounts yeah, I hear of people getting the codes all the time). Try again to make Origin seem like heroes and Steam the devil, it's pathetic.


See that? See what I did there? It's called ending with a sarcastic spin of your last sentence, which seems pretty easy to do. For all your talk of NOT being anti-Steam, you sure seem to make a big point of BEING anti-Steam in your posts. As I said in my now removed post, I use pretty much ever digital distribution platform, and the one I've had the least problems with? Steam. followed by Origin and GFWL. I see threads complaining about all 3 ALL the time here on OCN and have never had major issues with any of them.

Oh, and for reference, handing out discount codes JUST for contacting their support says to me, 'Look, we know we hav e a crappy support system, with mostly terrible agents who can't or won't help you, so any time you contact us, we'll give you a % off your next purchase from us." Seems like terrible business practice to me. Sure, Steam takes a few days to get back to you, but 90+% of the time, they resolve the issue the first try. (Note: I've never had to contact Steam support for any of the 300+ games I own on Steam)
