That is not the reason for Origin. Origin gathers data about your habits on your pc and your web browsing. It then compiles that data for EA to share your personal info with other companies, yes, EA may say they don't sell your info, but they share it. Even when you don't link Origin to your game, (inside the game) it will still transfer all your pc usage to EA. What did you open today on your pc? Origin knows and transmits that to EA. In turn EA uses that data or what you searched or looked for on the internet to give to third party companies about you. Just like Face Book and Google you are the product, not the game.
Wow... Super shady. The data 'sharing' (stealing through loopholes) is why I quit FB and all the other social media. Is there a way to block them?
I remember the good old days when friends would get a game and they would lend it to another friend to play- it was never stealing, it was sharing (good for those who grew up poor, and didn't have the privilege that wealthy kids did). It just seems that there is far too little kindness, enjoyment sharing, and general 'good human-ing' in the past ten+ years (except for thoughtful modders,and gracious cc creators- who are doing so much for free, out of the kindness of their hearts).... I digress.
