So you end up using Origin (sighing all the while) when you HAVE to play an EA game.. and end up using Steam for everything else.

The Origin thing doesn't bother me in the slightest. I installed it. It works perfectly fine for what it's supposed to do. It's not the best, not the worst. It's not invasive. I never run it unless I want to play an EA game, which is pretty rare. And when I'm not running it, it's just another in a see of icons on my desktop.
I love Steam. I think it's great. I'd definitely prefer all my games to be on it and have even bought games (on the super cheap) that I purchased through other means just to have it on Steam, but for those rare exceptions, I am fine with alternatives.
