The one thing I will give Origin is that it doesn't eat resources like Steam does. When I downloaded The Sims 3 off of Origin, I could still surf the web and so could anyone else on my network. Normally with Steam, I can't use the internet and neither can anyone else, really.

I'm more concerned about the spywarey file scans that Origin has. As for discs, that shouldn't be too big of a concern.

If I remember correctly there's a way to disable that.

I was opposed to that as well, but I haven't had any issues with it.

Though, I'd check right now but login is down. o.e
