EA's DeMartini has had too Much to Drink Again
From Joystiq:

Quote:
David DeMartini, EA's senior vice president of global ecommerce, said the goal of EA's Origin service is to be a better version of its competition. DeMartini noted that "the only way you get to the innovation is to have other people try and do a better version of what someone has previously done," singling out Valve's Steam platform in an interview with MCV.

"I didn't expect to be able to out-feature Steam within the first 12 months. But I'm quite optimistic we will differentiate ourselves as a service. We've built the foundation and now we are starting to add value to the service off of that foundation," he added.

Note to DeMartini: You won't beat Steam as long as you don't give good discounts and stay being assholes.

oh yes, you've already managed that right out of the gate.... but as many gamers have already noted "different" doesn't mean better
