Quote Olaf Coenen (CEO of EA Germany):
"Origin collected limited information that is necessary to enable you buying, downloading, accessing and playing games and gaming content. The information is also needed to establish online connections with other players as well as content and software directly deliver updates. "
I am laughing dead. As we have since established online connections to other players before BF3 and installs updates without such software in the background?
No thanks, EA.
