Hahaha! Now THIS is my kind of CFO. I wish more would tell it like it is like this. It would make finance meetings so much more bearable!
If flame wars were this funny, I'd be starting them myself....Then again, I guess to the person starting the flame war, they ARE this funny all the time :/
See, now this is the kind of shit we could have if the people running gaming were game enthusiasts. Fucking awesomeness and less corporate reach-arounds.
Origin does fucking suck, but EA kinda has to initiate a digital distribution service, in fact they should have a couple of years ago.
I don't think physical media is going anywhere in the immediate future, but all big publishers are going to be in a position, 10 or so years down the line, where they will need to have their own propriety service. And we will all be saying "EA missed the boat 10 years ago" if they did not get the ball rolling now.
The thing is, in 10 years accessing these platforms will (hopefully) be as easy as changing the channel on TV. Right now they are cumbersome and shit.

Origin got owned!
Great press release and a good sense of humor. Looking forward to the Steam release because it's about fucking time a new Serious Sam comes out. :D

@Nevi - the thing with TV is you buy channels from one source, not 4 different cable networks and a few dishes. People don't want to have multiple contracts to get their content, especially when it's being as much of a hassle as requiring a proprietary service.
...that made me laugh. It's nice a developer can just come out and honestly mock something like this.
I know I shouldn't encourage this kind of stuff, but it's too damn entertaining.
Besides, Origin really does suck.

Yeah, sure, mock them for putting something out and trying to compete. Origin might be crap, and EA definitely are going about marketing it the wrong way, but no need to be a douchebag about it.
Bwah, hah!!! This guy is my hero.
@KingSigy - You need to grow a sense of humor, and lighten up. There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with the occasional shit talk in this industry.

Do people forget that Steam was once in Origin's position? They are both bullshit collateral applications that are required to play a game. It's just that people have investment in Steam.
I just woke up and this Ford Parker guy already won the BADASS OF THE DAY award.
Never heard of him before today.. but he's the bees knees as far as im concerned.

10-year-old train simulators? He does realize there are train simulators on Steam.
Easy to pick on Origin, but it really doesn't matter when a majority of people don't even bother gaming on their computer.

Legitimate question:
I've never actually used Origin. Does it actually work poorly, or is everyone berating it simply because it's not Steam?

HOLY DUCK FUCK people need to learn what the fuck a joke is. I now direct you to dictionary.com so you can get a fucking clue! Holy crap are people so wound up that they don't even recognize sarcasm when they see it? It's so obvious you can't even use the old and tired "WELL U KANT REED SARKAZM" NO SHIT? Well when it's as obvious as a nuclear explosion you CAN!
That aside, this is fucking dripping with Gold. Which, I will in turn, now use to purchase SS:BFE, so, yes, this "PRESS RELEASE" just got them an extra sale.

@amtatx: The interface is poor, and they have HORRIBLE agreements in their ToS, including account and/or game deletion due to inactivity of any part of your account (IE if you don't play Game X, Game X might be deleted, even if you paid for it).
To everyone else: Anyone who didn't realize this is sarcasm by, "I think we could have revolutionized how I make a shitload of money," is a moron.
