catpower1980: The thing that's more infuriating is that in this example, she lost her save but her gamecard still shows her achievement and her playtime so I don't know how they coded their save system at EA but it looks totally broken (normally, she should also have lost her playtime and achievements if everything was tied)

amok: hmm.. no, I dont think so. Game time and achievements unlocked are separate from game saves, so it makes sense to me if game saves got messed up, then those can still be fine. Game time and achievements are external meta-data in relation to the game, save games are integrated into the game.
mmmm, I would partially disagree with that. Looks like with EA they code them separately but you can perfectly implement gametime and achievements within the game (using the "PlayerPrefs" data in Unity for example)

Always turn off Origin cloud saving. You're much better off relying on local saves. I didn't experience the missing saves issue but for some reason keeping cloud saves turned on eventually kept one of my games from starting up at all. I would just get an error about the cloud saves straightaway.

I see the whole "saving your game" problem is getting bigger and bigger.

Cyraxpt: Meh, she only lost +/- 5h from a plataform game, real pain is losing + 10h of Far Cry 2 (yes, with the stupid collect diamonds system) due to a glitch. Later they patch it but the save was gone forever...

amrit9037: I lost 20+ hour of gameplay TWICE while playing Batman: Arkham Asylum because I forgot to make offline GFWL account. :/
A friend once said to me that GFWL meant "getting f** with lumber". Guess that's what happened to ya, huh? :D
SHOOO! Devilish drm, go away!

catpower1980: This morning, after waking up from a nap, I checked the internet news with Twitch in the background (coz always listening to music is boring) and caught this awkward moment when Coco tried to resume her playthrough of Unravel (the "indier-than-indie" game from EA):

It starts at 1H02m20s:

Good advertising for Origin services ^o^
Somehow this chick reminds me of this old japanese prank on certain parts. It's like she has a head sprouting from under her neck, with all this huge black coat and all ;D

I've actually had remarkably few issues with it. As someone else noted, I've had far fewer problems with Origin than I have with Steam.
