You're going a bit conspiracy theory there. Origin, despite its slightly clumsy design folder wise and for reinstallation without redownloading already installed games, but otherwise, it's a reliable service. Downloads speeds are always high and I've never had connectivity issues. Unlike for example retarded Uplay that has moronic connectivity issues on every freaking game release from Ubisoft and yet I seem to be the only one criticizing and even boycotting Ubisoft. Sometimes I don't understand people...
I don't play Ubisoft games, because of Uplay. It's DRM that is unacceptably clunky, defective, and assumes its customers are stealing. I managed a couple hours of Farcry 3 before deciding Ubisoft doesn't deserve my money.
I don't play anything that requires Origin because EA is a bunch of slimeballs, who have constantly made their developers take blame for crap publishing decisions. Likewise, their service is nearly an app store, with physical copies sometimes costing less than online purchases. This particular decision stemmed from Crysis 2 and Mass Effect 2. which hit home hard because Mass Effect 3 was something I looked forward to. The fact ME3 had a crap ending made me feel as though this decision was the correct one. My decision isn't related to service quality.
I tolerate Steam because the software is often at a great price, the DRM side isn't insanely intrusive, and Valve is a tolerable evil.
What I prefer to purchase games from is GoG. I don't get treated as a thief, DRM is nowhere, and yet they still make money. It's like the consumers want to purchase games, but often the DRM gets in the way of enjoying them. Without endorsing it, the only games I've ever pirated are the ones that I own. Sometimes that cracked version just runs better than the one you paid for. Being forces to pirate, because your game is broken by its DRM, is why DRM has to die.
