why is ea so *

Hi Guys,

Just wondering why EA updates Origin 5 times per week.
Every time i fire up my PC i choose something other than an EA title to play because Origin has another update.

If you are wondering why your market share is slipping through your fingers this is just one of many reasons.

Be prepared to be added to this list:

It would be interesting to see the date stamps on this page:
https://secure.download.dm.origin.com/releasenotes/10.5.71/en_US.html

i'm guessing you don't date stamp it because it would just be embarrassing.

I'm pretty sure no staff member of EA will read this (another reason they are losing market share).

However if by some form of miracle they do please pass on the following helpful information.-- Bank the damn updates and roll them all into a once per month update --

You're welcome.

    Hey @Error-404-FAIL I've been using Origin since launch and never noticed updates to be out of step with what other gaming services have.

    I will pass your feedback on.

    Hey @Error-404-FAIL if your Origin is updating 5 times a week then this would point to an issue with your Origin install. While updates are a regular occurrence I have never seen anywhere close to 5 updates in a single week.

    Have you ensured that your PC is fully up to date?

    @EA_Darko just using a bit of hyperbole to get my point across. The update frequency of Origin is outlandish. No other publisher platform requires updating this often. The only reason I can think of for such drastic update schedule is that the software is completely bugged.
