    It is also possible to get your steam account disabled for having been logged in multiple places in short notices, someone gift you a game brought by fraudulent means or spammed the register game section.

    But I still like steam more than origin. Over 9 years of using it, I already been disabled twice and that each took a week of support to get it back. Not perfect but not bad.


    Steam and valve games, I'm ok with. Not so much with third party publishers on steam.

    Not necessarily, EA can ban you from the forums and then you won't be able to get online to play DA or ME.

    You're right, I should.

    But I had a weird occurrence involving Origin. I bought Arkham City during the Origin sale and I couldn't get it to stop stuttering (Even with DX11 stuff off) until I reinstalled the game with a fresh patch...so weird.

    ^ you're not alone. apparently FIFA 12 has the same bug. if you have installed the disc version of the game in Origin, you cannot patch it to the latest version. you need to download the whole game again (about 6GB), install it, and patch it. good job EA!

    PC games be trolling. D;
    I got mine on Steam but the damn GFWL dident track all my achievements unlocked, while Steam did.
    Only solution to fix this is to either hack my Gamerscore (aka be a weaksauce) or replay the game. >.>

    Raptr? It launches my Steam games fine, lists games I have installed. If it works for Origin then why not?

    No, not just launching games, but managing games I own but don't have installed.

    Of course... :3

    But since they updated how the completed games show you wont find any easy to do 1000g games in my profile like Hello Kitty or similar.
