I've been reading that Origin has to be logged in to play the game. I understand it can be offline but I will be buying the disk and don't want to have Origin to play the game.

I can understand EA wanting us to register or get permission to play the copy of the game the first time but I don't like the idea of having to sign in (even offline) to play a disk game.

So, can you all fix this? I'm not buying Origin, I'm buying a copy of the game on disk.
