To those whining about Origin scanning your machines...

At least we get at least some of the results of Steam's scanning!

No program should scan your system without a clear warning and giving you a choice to decline.

"I say we start a PINK SLIME campaign against Steam STAT!"

The Steam survey is 100% optional. You are randomly selected by Steam and a pop up comes up on Steam when you are selected. You can choose to participate or not and if I remember correctly you can choose just to participate in the hardware part and not doing the software part. It is entirely 100% optional though, where as with Origin you have no choice.

You can get all of that info with a 3-second "dxdiag". Whoop-dee-doo.

And what were you trying to achieve with this?

 

[Martimus]

I have no intention to waste my time researching what Origin does and how it works. EA has done enough to me in the past not to trust anything they would make me install, so I just wont buy any of their games. ME3 is the only game I miss at the moment, but I can easily deal with that since I have way too many other games to play. To be honest, I like that I am more limited now in what I can do as it helps me find the willpower to do the more important things around the house.

And what were you trying to achieve with this?

trolling, and you people bought it.

And what were you trying to achieve with this?

problem?

 

[airdata]

wait..wait...

Does the origin scan see my non-legit copies of mass effect 1&2 installed on my machine? or does it see the legit copies I have in steam that aren't installed?

I fail to see how this proves that the PS3 is a better console.

 

[Hooray_Yogurt]

You can opt out of the hardware survey. As I recall you get a little pop-up asking if you want to submit your specs.

Ban OP plz.
