User blog comment:RoseLegion/Origin required to play ME3? :(/@comment-4466838-20111122121135/@comment-67.2.158.190-20111122132239

Read it in more than one location, if you want a major source (and you don't speak German) the ME3 official forums have a thread: http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/323/index/8498716/101#8727553 I'm not "assuming" it's true, there's been supporting evidence from several sources. Origin isn't in it's final forum (nor is the EULA which has undergone 4 changes and counting) so some of this information may become dated (and I certainly hope it does). As to what EA will/won't do the facts of the matter are they *did* force gamers to use Origin for BF3 and there has been no official response beyond 'there should be an answer before release and don't worry you can cancel pre-orders even the day before release' despite numerous questions both on the forums and through other direct EA channels. Hopefully the decision will be made not to have this requirement, to the best of my knowledge 'the jury is still out' on this and if my above implied otherwise then take this as a correction. Finally I see no reason that an enhancement to information transfer technology should result in information itself becoming truncated. Maybe I'm "unusual" but I it no struggle to be both in the IT field and possessing no Twitter et al communication mode.
