Additionally, GOG is providing a competitive difference over Steam in a few different ways. Why?īecause, unlike EA’s Origin, GOG Galaxy is not publisher specific. Ugh! Don’t increase the friction for me to spend money on your games!īut I think that GOG’s new Steam-alike (I’m sure others have independently coined that – feel free to spread it around) is a good thing.
Also, then Ubisoft and others started making noises of further fragmentation. It just makes things more complex than they need to be. Its mandated use also means someone else needs to have my credit card info, another folder with games, another place to check for deals, etc. It’s the reason I still haven’t played Mass Effect 3. It’s OK for Origin to exist, but simply because I HAD to use it for EA rather than it being a choice (like maybe if they had some better sales than Steam), I’ve essentially boycotted it. Before that you could choose Amazon, Steam, or any other way to get the games digitally.

The part of PC gaming that made me upset about EA’s Origin was the limiting of all (or most of the big ones) their games to that platform. Usually, no matter the OS, everyone can play together online. All games run on Windows and a greater and greater number run on Linux and OSX. In the console world there are games exclusive to Playstation or Xbox and for the non-exclusive games I have to figure out (if I’m planning to game socially) which platform my friends and family are going to buy the game on. Part of what I enjoy so much about playing PC games is that the only limitations on what you can run are based on OS and the power of your hardware. If I mentioned it on this site, I wasn’t able to find it in a search because of the generic word, but I was very annoyed and pretty upset about EA’s Origin store and platform.
