So I've been reading about this whole controversy about EA and Steam's conflict with one another regarding DLC content and the such. It really seems as if both are doing what's best in their interest and looking out for themselves. I'm doubtful we'll even see BF3 on Steam at this point... but come on, as one person said, "All I know is that, as a consumer, I do not want to have multiple gamestore-apps installed on my computer." (Nocall)

I couldn't agree more, its annoying, I don't want to have more than I have to have installed to run a single game. Already we have Steam, Impulse, Comrade (Direct2Drive) and now Origin. At this rate I'll have to have a separate program for each publisher out there.

So one of you programming monkeys out there reading this, hop to it, and start making that mega-gaming app that will run Steam, Origin, etc. all under one flag. Something that will mask the default interface/overlay in and out of my games (in the same manner as Shift+Tab for Steam but with a universal interface and [better] community features). I want ONE program that handles it all and to be honest I'm surprised Google hasn't dabbled with this yet considering they tend to carry that motto. Hell, I was never a big fan of Xfire but I think they had it right.

Profit.

I have no interest in Origin, I hope EA doesn't force it so hard, but then I don't really buy EA games anymore because of some of the stupid **** they do anyway.

BF3 looks sweet but I probably would dump it if it forces me to use Origin. I know the Star Wars MMO already has plans to do that, and really it turns me off of bothering with it.

I simply wont buy things from "Origin" - vote with my feets. I have no love for EA and plenty of people share the same feeling.
I accept a separate Blizzard app store because of who they are and what games they sell.

GFWL is a similar thing, I just don't have any reason to use it over Steam other than being able to buy **** with MS Points.

I've had no problems with steam so far, but I do find it a bit worrying that they have what amounts to a monopoly in this new-ish market, and anyone trying to break it is seen as the bad guy. Especially since Valve is not exactly transparent about the things they do.

On the other hand, GFWL should be banned by the Geneva convention, and having a bajillion services to run your games is a pain in the ass.

We are doomed.

I wouldn't mind another Steam-like service, but so far the only one that gets even close is GFWL, a brand specific service like Origin is just annoying.
