Origin Has A Solid Fan Base. 5mil+

I heard alot of beef about Origin and the new Battlelog system. I did'nt have any problems with it and loved how I could still surf the internet while the map was loading. Alot of people did have alot of things to say about it, but the fact is Origin has a solid fanbase of about 5 Million right now. Could it be the next Steam? That's not likely for another few years. We've already seen some heavy hitting games in Origin though and being backed up by EA one of the biggest video game producers in the world is definately a plus. 

Electronic Arts has revealed that its Origin digital game distribution service currently sees over five million users on a daily basis.
Speaking to the Sydney Morning Herald, EA COO and industry veteran Peter Moore explained that, despite launching only four months ago, the service has seen respectable user numbers.
"Like any piece of software, and I worked at Microsoft for enough years to say this, you launch software and continue to polish it, upgrade it, get feedback and make it better," he explained.
"That's where we are with Origin. We're only four and a half months in and already over five million people are using it on a daily basis."
The company said last month that Origin had seen a total of four million installs of the client.
EA CFO Eric Brown also revealed that third-party content will be available via Origin "very soon." The service currently only supplies EA-published games.
