Origin update adds TwitchTV in-built live streaming

A good first step but there is still a lot of stuff that needs fixing first. If I were EA I would worry about fixing the first room before building another. 

For you sinners who have strayed into the filth that is Origin, you should get down on your knees and pray to the Gaben for his Steamy forgiveness. 

Agreed.  Remedying the problems with some of Origin's existing offerings would be most welcomed.

Is "in built" Aussie for built-in? :)

That's pretty swell for fans of Origin, I have less than 10 games with the service, but it's not bad for a DRM service like Steam. Steam is still tops, but competition only brings great deals to all.

I like Origin it just needs some more games.The only game that is good is BF3.

And the people of South America will still be forced to pay in euros rather than the more logical US dollar, I presume; cause, like it's "so difficult" to sort out those "region and currency issues"...

Install our spyware so you can watch people play video games or just go to their website and do it for free. The choice seems pretty clear: Lorenzo Lamas.

You can already stream games without Origin..

Get rid of the crap you should, not update it.

Nice feature, but I still feel like supporting companies who ruin franchises/developers and are generally a negative force in gaming is not something I should be doing.  I mean, can anyone remember a single positive EA has brought to gaming?  I certainly can't.  

Origin would literally have to print money every 10 seconds for me to want to use it.  Every man has his price.

I never liked the ideea of Origin either at first. But after a while i can't find any problems with using a program like Origin or Uplay. Don't get me wrong, I still hate the guts out of EA (nothing against Ubi so far though) and their respective stores still suck hard. What would you prefer? GFWL? I have all games in one library, no need for shoving discs to be able to play and you have to offline option if you don't like that. I heard once a guy was mad because it automatically starts with the Windows. If that's the problem, learn to use a computer first.

Me I actually grew fond of Origin and Uplay so far. And with the addition of Twitch, they don't seem to let me down.

Surprising.  Never thought they would ever do anything like this.

This is actually something interesting and something I didn't expect to see from EA, quite a good feature.

smart move

You lost me at Origin... Cool feature though.

great idea, cmon valve this shouldve been in steam a long time ago, as well as you guys merging with GOG so they can sort out all the old games on steam that are a nightmare to get running these days!

I hate ea and origin more, but this actually is pretty cool.Still will never use origin tho.

That's actually pretty cool.  find some way of adding the twitch chat overlay to the games with decent opacity & formatting controls and it'll be really handy

Meh. Still a fuck you for EA.  

do you think the suits at EA actually take literal baths in money? like with paper money instead of water? or do they use wine crushed from orphans instead of grapes?

Yeah, like this crap is actually going to prompt me to use their garbage service. Hardly...

didn't EA send cease and desist to a lot of twitch streamers recently

so are they for twitch or against or something

nothing like playing sides

Now if only this could also come to consoles.
