But I agree with recommending the Origin download. Generally, if a download is available on GG and on its "home" platform (Steam, Origin, proprietary ...), it's best to download it from the latter. Publishers always keep the game's main platform up to date, but they sometimes forget to update the files that they sent to other distributors. As a result, GG-specific downloads of these games could be outdated or incompatible.
I would never purchase a non-EA-owned game from Origin, however I have to totally agree that if the game IS EA owned, you're pretty much screwed if you don't purchase it from EA directly as EA appears to have claimed exclusive rights to supporting and providing its own franchises with patches and DLC.
