Store Origin Reviews 929

EA yet again are just greed hungry thieves. It should be flat out illegal to remove a game from their store if there is downloadable content available to purchase. Everyone who has purchased downloadable content for Cities Skylines has now been ripped off due to the game being completely unavailable. There needs to be a petition against EA to either refund the money for every DLC purchased for a game removed or for those games to at least be available to purchase if you currently own the downloaded content except for the game due to the game pass subscription... worst company to be a part of the gaming industry…

Worst client ever! I can explain it or I can make a list but it's not needed everything is bad!

Terrible and forced on me, the catch phrase password thing is pants, it's so over complicated just to log in. I wish EA had never made origin, they should have stuck to making games.

Worst client i have ever seen. Tried to play apex for the first time in months and didnt have it on steam. Wasted over an hour. Whoever created origin is actually worse at making something worse than riots 200 years of game design. I am surprised at how disappointed i can be in this. I dont care what game devs they trick to allow their games on this “client” im never using it again. To sum up in a word, terrible.

This company works with false promises, Anthem is one of those lies. Not working on Anthem but plenty of time for other things that makes Origin more profit. What a selfish company.
From time to time, especially when things are about to go bad, a survey comes; I wrote a full essay every time, is it a trick to show that Origin cares?. Because I see nothing to very little of it.
There is not much left for this company to work with, I mean, most people are turning their back to this company.
The launcher is archaic.

life long sim player here (since 97') and I have actual waking nightmares about the fact that I need to use this platform to play this game.
It is a nightmare to use, with consent crashes, bugs, 'fixes', updates, forced password changes, forced downloads, and inability to use the platform unless you check on it every other day to ensure it is FULLY UP TO DATE. seriously do not let this thing get past a few updates, you will have to uninstall the entire platform and then re install, change your password and then redownload all of your games. Which, at best, takes hours and at worst, doesnt work for some unknown error and you have retry 4+ hrs of downloading at some point when you can keep an eye on it for the full time.

god bless EA for scamming me into paying 300$+ for this ridiculous game (expansion packs are NOT CHEAP) for my nostalgia and not even allowing me to play it 80% of the time I want to.

Horrible app.
It doesn't store your login in memory, even though you tip the Box named "Remember me".
Then, to recover your password, you need to prove you are not a robot: 4 (Yes, 4!) series of images will come on your screen for you select the right object.

Finally, when you set your new password, you can't use one you already used. A really mess to access games you have bought.

The client is awful but the games are cheaper than steam.

Also some games don't work properly on steam that work perfectly on origin.

Example. Battlefield 1&5

Jesus! This has been the worst experience i have had with any client. Absolutely awful.

Absolutely the worst.

They spy on you, they want your money and they don't care if the older games don't work on your computer. The don't have the DECENCY to at least inform the user what games work on win10 and which do not. I paid money for the game to work so it's their job to make it do what it's supposed to do! I just want to play sims or populous in piece but it's just not possible.

Greedy, not very helpful and just sad.

I was finally able to contact an acual person on the phone for an issue with a game lagging so bad, we could NEVER play it. I explained my issue and after checking my system's info, he said that my computer was under the specs to play this game, which explains why we COULD NEVER PLAY IT. I asked for a refund or a credit for another game that we COULD play and after sending the dxDiag report to them, he told me that my request was denied because I waited too long to ask. I told him that their technology was seriously outdated if they could not tell that the game was never actually played. DO NOT BUY ANY GAMES FROM THEM!! SPEND YOUR MONEY WHERE THEY APPRECIATE THEIR CUSTOMERS!! I am spending my $$$$ somewhere else!

just use Steam. This is trash

Horrible Game producer. Their games a filled with bugs and almost never get patched...

Anyone who works at Origin needs to go to the nearest hardware store, buy some rope, tie a noose and tie it around a tree, put the rope around their neck and kick the stool.

I keep trying different ID codes and it keeps saying it's in use. I don't want to be up all night trying to figure out an ID.

Just spoke to Bobbi from the origin customer service. She was polite, friendly and super sweet. Made me laugh and listen to me with respect.

I'm super happy with my call this evening and just wanted to thank her.

Worst launcher in the history of launchers!!!!!!

I got IP-Banned on Origin, they never even explained why. I am not sharing my account, I'm not even playing online games or using mods in singleplayer ones. I only play casual games like Peggle, Plants VS Zombies, The Sims. No f**king clue why i got IP-Banned. When contacting support, the only thing they told me is "We're sorry but we can't solve your problem". They are treating my mysterious ban like a bug/glitch in the launcher and pretending it doesn't exist...

Bad experience, always bugging out and servers going down alot.
