Re: Origin on Linux

The sad thing is that Call of Duty is on Steam and is the top ranked download... Why Can't EA ditch Origin?
Origin has a bad user interface, crashes regularly and has more intrusive ads than Steam. It does not have support for Linux either.

Origin is a prime example of how blinded EA has become by greed. I can guarantee that EA would have had more sales if they sold the games on Steam.

I want EA to embrace both Steam and Linux. The few EA games that are available on Steam are far more stable than their Origin versions, so EA is obviously doing something wrong.

I'm eagerly anticipating the release of Steambox.  I'm betting the "console-pc" based on Linux will be a market breaker and a turning point for PC gaming.  Hopefully Origin is already looking at moving towards Linux based games too but I do wonder if they have the time to even think about what the competition is doing, while they are running around trying to fix broken games.

I also would like to see Origin on Linux, maybe by using SteamOS as base. Like Steam Big Picture mode. Of source it should also be possible to run Orgin standalone on every Linix distro.

That said, I'm looking out for the first Native AAA EA Game on Linux.
