*opens Origin for the first time in about a year*

*notes Origin still doesn't have a wishlist option*
*closes Origin for another year or so*
Oh fucking great. Because I made the mistake of opening Origin, it updated Sims 3 without my knowledge or consent, and now...

...Sims 3 apparently fucking *requires* Origin to be open when it launches now. Goddammit. Tempted to just uninstall Sims 3 altogether now.

Fuck EA. Just... fuck EA to hell and back.

And, yep, I've now uninstalled The Sims 3 and all its expansions for the first time in... a really long time. It really sucks, because I'd actually played it as recently as only a few days ago. On the bright side, I suppose, this has freed up many gigabytes on my D drive.
Fuck goddamn EA for this asinine horseshit. This is yet another reason for me to utterly despise them, as if I didn't have more than enough reasons to do so already. Well, that's what I get for being idly curious to see if they'd finally implemented a fucking wishlist function by now on their useless, piece of shit Origin client. (And, no, they still have not implemented a fucking wishlist feature.)
(EDIT) I might try to reinstall The Sims 3 again at some nebulous later point in the far flung future, maybe, from the discs. I'll just have to make mega-sure to never, ever run the Origin client again after that, though. Honestly, at this point, now that I've uninstalled The Sims 3, there's no point in keeping Origin itself installed anymore, either. *immediately uninstalls the fuck out of that useless bullshit* (/EDIT)
(EDIT 2)
(/EDIT 2)And, yes, said corn cob is indeed both "dried up" and "drenched." I'm pissed enough that word meanings temporarily no longer apply. ¬_¬

Date: 2016-08-17 03:27 pm (UTC)From:- Saw that Steam had a sale going for the Mass Effect "franchise."
- Noted that Steam only has ME1 and ME2, which hardly counts as the full "franchise," due, of course, to EA being shitbags and no longer allowing Steam to sell any of their newer games, since they want to pimp out the piece of shit that is Origin instead.
- Decided to fire up Origin for the first time in forever to see if EA had finally stopped being colossal imbeciles and had implemented a wishlist, so that I could perhaps add at least the Mass Effect games and maybe Dragon Age Inquisition in case they ever went on sale (since Origin does offer sales the same as Steam, (http://kane-magus.livejournal.com/593647.html) even though they initially and hypocritically complained about such sales. (http://kane-magus.livejournal.com/592787.html))
- Noted that Origin, in fact, still idiotically does not have a wishlist feature, because EA is full of goddamn morons.
- Saw too late that Origin had silently updated The Sims 3 and got super fucking pissed off and uninstalled the whole damn lot of it.
See, here's the thing. If EA had only been non-retarded enough to have implemented that most basic of functionality that is a simple fucking wishlist in the bowl of diarrhetic fecal liquid that they call a store client, which is something that, as far as I am aware, all other online distribution clients provide, then I might very well have actually started using Origin to buy games, on a provisional basis, for the very, very few games of theirs that I still had some small interest in trying some day. However, because they are indeed still mentally deficient in that sense, and, beyond that, are actually actively malicious, given that the fucking thing unnecessarily updated my Sims 3 game to goddamn require the Origin client to launch when it hadn't ever needed to before, I have now instead decided to never use Origin for anything.
