Origin EULA

Well just as I thought everything with BF3 was going well. DICE co-ordinating with AC sites and rcon progamme developers. The possibility that screenshots will actually work, the sun shining and the birds singing. THEN EA spring this little GEM on fans:

Soon we won't be able to take a piss without EA knowing about it. Joy..

Hey. Where is the folks that always say "It's all the same to run the game on Steam or Origin".

That is not good one bit.

I suppose if it were limited to hardware/driver oversight for the sole reason of patches or troubble shooting, I could understand some need for a partial intrusion.

But to shoehorn monitoring/selling a paying customers surfing patterns under the umbrella of a EULA is bulsh. About the time I am ready to heap praise on EA/DICE, I am reminded why I am naturally suspicious.
