EA exec Peter Moore says Origin will be perfected in two years
Ever since Electronic Arts launched its own digital download platform Origin, a competitor to Steam that has caused a lot of controversy among PC gamers.

And there were certainly some folks who didn’t buy Battlefield 3 due to this, not being happy with having to install another application to bloat up their PC, particularly not Origin. The service is still a relatively new platform and has caused some issues, such as faulty initial downloads, or the game being broken by a patch or DLC, and the user having to download the (huge) game again. Even those who purchase a boxed copy will need to sign up and install Origin in order to be [...]
