New C&C game should not be using EA's Origin program

[LukaColic0]

I agree with you,Zocom.While I think browsers such as Steam are convenient,I would like to be able to buy the game from a shelf in a store as well.I take some joy in that that is unexplainable.
As for the serial numbers,I think we should get rid of them.Civilization games do just fine without them.I don't see the point in them,and to me they are simply a waste of time.Also,serial numbers can be lost or thrown away on accident (I accidentally threw away the serial numbers for my Battle for Middle Earth 2 games...$^%#es me off so much...).
There appears,as I said,to be no logical reason to have serial numbers,so I think that they should not be a part of games...at all.(Though I would like to know why games have serial numbers.Do reply to this reply if you have an answer(not to change the subject).

I like serial numbers.But they should be printed on something inside the box of the game.

i can't remember when i saw it last but a thought occurred to me. if they got time to print the books why not spend time and create a rendom key for each disc and imprint it on the disc? that way when you load the game you still have a serial but no need to figure out if its an o or a 0.
now what i hate about origin is the online crap.....yes it is nice that if i scratch the cd i can just goto my account and redownload the game. but why the heck should i have constant connection to play singleplayer? the idea is i want to play alone...not have someone who does the mission for me so i get no xp or have some new guy trying to figure out why i got mammoth tanks and he doesn't so you spend half the game explaining it to them as nod encroaches on your borders making the game a living nightmare(but still completeable)
singleplayer should be just that. SINGLE no need for another computer in la telling my computer its ok to play...
and what the heck happened since ra? another thing westwood did for us was include a disc for each side... so i could be the nod while my brother could try and take me on with a mammoth tank (by the way fyi 20 obelisks can stop 20 mammoth tanks... but takes a while to build them) if you try that now with all the antipiracy bs you got there is no way of doing it. why should any parent have to buy 2 exactly identical games so someone can vs each other? i know of no other platform that does that anymore except pc. even the nintendo ds i can play 2 player with only one cartridge. anyway i am ranted out for a few moments i might go help someone in a support section.

You got it.

Why is nobody posting?

After all of this time, I was hoping if more people will realize this thread.

As what EA_Cire said about the new C&C going to be a PC only version, I am afraid the chances are greater that the new C&C will be using Origin without Cire telling us. The worst part about EA's Origin service program is this: http://forums.cncnz.com/index.php?showtopic=15869

For it seems more likely to me that I won't be purchasing future EA games that are using Origin.

Don't care about that, don't have anything to be embarrassed of on my PC.

Whoopee for you!
It would seem that an entire generation of PC users are just accepting routine invasions of privacy has the norm.
So EA will be selling users information and also adding it onto a nice large data base.

Oh well! I won't bother with future C&C games if they use this system (Judging by C&C4 I will not be missing much anyway).

I don't care if it's on Origin, I JUST WANT IT ON STEAM!!!

Signed, if they make it available via download at least they can use a tried and true platform. STEAM at least gives you something back for selling your soul.

IMO i dont think it matters anymore, they are wut they wunna do, its unlikely that our voices on this is gonna be heard. sadly.

Not that I have things to be secretive on PC (apart from plans on how to make nukes and such things) but neither do I like some spying programms to potentially install software that I don't know about.

I like my PC being as clean as it is, if not only for better problem-locating and solving methods. Having multiple unwanted and/or hidden programms on my PC makes security a mess.

And I don't feel like closing new installation pop-ups when working with separate Admin- and normal User-Accounts ...
