Une galère monstre pour installer le client, interface laide et pas claire, tout le temps des bugs et des problèmes avec les jeux, catalogue pauvre et sans intérêt, service client inexistant... Cette plateforme est tout bonnement épouvantable, seuls une poignée de jeux valent le coup de l'installer mais privilégiez Steam si vous ne voulez pas vous frapper la tête contre les murs.
A monster galley to install the client, ugly and unclear interface, all the time bugs and problems with the games, poor and useless catalog, non-existent customer service... This platform is just awful, only a handful of games are worth installing it but prefer Steam if you don't want to bang your head against the walls.

Un casse-tête à installer sous Windows 10, interface inattractive et peu intuitive, nombreux bugs et problèmes pour installer les jeux, si ce n'était pas pour jouer à certains jeux qui me tiennent à cœur ça ferait longtemps que je l'aurais désinstallé.
A puzzle to install under Windows 10, inattractive and not very intuitive interface, many bugs and problems to install the games, if it wasn't for playing some games that are dear to my heart it would have been a long time ago that I would have uninstalled it.

cette plateforme est catastrophique, après avoir installé l'appli origin sur pc windows 10, l'application ne se lance pas . mais systématiquement renvoie à une installation de mise à jour et plus rien .... impossible de trouver des réponses à mon pb sur le forum. Quant à la demande de remboursement n'en parlons pas , impossible d'aboutir, EA renvoie à des forums anglais. Une belle arnaque bien rodée et efficace
this platform is catastrophic, after installing the original application on pc windows 10, the application does not launch . but systematically refers to an update installation and nothing .... impossible to find answers to my pb on the forum. As for the refund request, let's not talk about it, impossible to succeed, EA refers to English forums. A nice scam, well tried and tested and efficient.

La plateforme de jeu origin est une honte pour tous les joueurs digne de ce nom ! Galère pour se connecter, titanfall est une catastrophe niveau connexion une vrai arnaque Ce jeu te pourri ton pc, à jeter à la poubelle, du fric jeter par la fenêtre. D’ailleurs pour bloquer ce commentaire, le site ne reconnait pas mon identifiant ! Une honte.

Avis sur le service client d'Origin [site d'EA] : Le service client via "Contactez-nous" et le chat avec un des employés est mauvais, je m'explique : - Les "employés" écrivent des messages à une vitesse très lente, - On a l'impression de parler à des machines plus qu'à des personnes (avec des fautes d'orthographe qui plus est), - Certains d'entre eux ne sont pas en capacité de répondre à des questions simples (telle que "Est-ce que le fait de contacter via le numéro de téléphone du service client, est payant?" / Sa réponse? => "Je crois que oui") - Ma demande d'association de compte (dont le délai m'avait été donné de 2 jours) n'a pas abouti, bien que la "personne" avec qui j'ai pu "discuter" m'avait bien confirmé que mes deux comptes seraient associés [avec un email sur les deux adresses pour le ticket, un email pour confirmer l'association sur les deux adresses et une possibilité de se connecter au même compte avec les deux adresses.. or, je n'ai reçu qu'un seul email (sur 4) m'expliquant qu'ils procèderaient à une association dans les plus brefs délais), Bref on voit bien l'apparence "j'm'enfoutiste" du service client.
Origin Customer Service Notice [EA site] : The customer service via "Contact us" and the chat with one of the employees is bad, I explain : - Employees" write messages at a very slow speed, - It feels like we are talking to machines rather than people (with spelling mistakes, moreover), - Some of them are not able to answer simple questions (such as "Is there a charge for contacting the customer service phone number / His/her answer? => "I think there is"). - My request for account association (which I was given 2 days) did not succeed, although the "person" with whom I could "discuss" had confirmed that my two accounts would be associated (with an email on both addresses for the ticket, an email to confirm the association on both addresses and a possibility to connect to the same account with both addresses... but I received only one email (out of 4) explaining that they would proceed to an association as soon as possible), In short, you can see the "I don't care" appearance of customer service.

Plateforme à ne surtout pas utiliser. Vos achats peuvent vous être débités sans que le contenu acheté ne vous soit délivré. S'en suit des discutions sans queue ni tête avec une assistance au QI total inférieur à celui d'un poisson clown et des demandes de remboursement qui resteront lettre morte.
Platform not to be used. Your purchases can be debited to you without the purchased content being delivered to you. The result is a lot of nonsensical chatter with a total IQ assistance lower than that of a clown fish and claims that will go unanswered.
