I'm too afraid to install Origin on my system especially after all of the horror stories I have heard about it.

Eh, it's actually a pretty slick system. Not a single person said one bad thing about it in the thread I posted...

Does it really scan every file on your system?

It's actually a lot nicer than Steam right now.

Code works. Neat.
Only chops off the price of one of the games though. Thanks anyways.

Not that I am aware of. But I sincerely doubt that rumor is true.

> Only chops off the price of one of the games though.
If you use a different browser (or delete cookies) and email you can as many as you want, as I understand it anyways. Seems like a hassle, but then again for a couple of kick-ass multiplayer games...

That rumor apparently has been heard by The Sims community as well.
Does the client ever directly show you it scanning?

I've been debating rather or not I should install it for SimCity.

I didn't really want any of the listed games but tried it on Dead Space just to see if it worked.
I already have all the multiplayer games I could want.

So is /v/ just over reacting? What does the client look like by the way?

I heard that some games on Origin only give you a certain number of installations. Is this true?

jesus christ just google or something people have better things to do, and yes some games have a limited number of installations but it doesn't matter where you get those games, they'll always have that limitation.

I purchased Sims 3 expansions from the store and they don't have those limitations compared to what people told me on their forums.

on how many machines have you installed it?

@356,584 (Catherine !TGirlYJKXM)
anyway that has nothing to do with origin, if you had purchased it from steam or gamersgate you'd still have the install limit
