After I had for years played Battlefield 2 and Bad Company 2, I was looking forward very 3rd on Battlefield But what I had to read? EA bundelt Battlefield 3 with a "Download Service" called Origin. So bad ... if it were not the EULA of download clients. The must tracken any software on the PC, EA knows when you start your Firefox when you which sounds in Winamp and when you write messages in Thunderbird. Then I asked the EA Support Live Chat because what should. The answer was simple, they scan the PC to robbery Kopieen, as these can affect the gameplay. Even metadata of MP3s and movies and read-transferred to EA. (Yes, you read correctly, this is confirmed by the EA Support!)
