There are quite a few irritations when it comes to PC gaming. Most notable are all of the anti-piracy measures that plague games and make it hard for gamers to enjoy what they spent their money on. It’s also very annoying as a PC gamer when a game requires you to use an internet connection constantly and to install other software to play.
While most gamers don’t mind Valve’s Steam so much, but some of the other software out there is much more intrusive and unstable. Case in point is EA’s Origin. One of the most anticipated PC games of the year is Titanfall. The head of Respawn studios, the developer behind the game, recently tweeted a disappointing response to a question asked by a gamer.
The question was simple, “does it require Origin?” The answer was simple as well, “yes it does.” The Titanfall PC beta will also require Origin for players to participate. The game also requires a 64-bit Windows OS and it has to be Windows 7 or higher. Since I’ve run Vista for years and it works fine for me (don’t judge) I have no intention of upgrading for Titanfall.

Nintendo continues its downward spiral as it’s game console the Wii U remains unpopular and its profits slump. During the company’s latest earnings call, it became clear just how poorly the Wii U is selling. According to the call, Nintendo sold only 5.86 million units since the Wii U launched.
That represents an incremental 2.8 million units compared to the number sold as of the end of 2012. 2.8 millions sounds like a lot of units – until you consider Sony sold more PS4 consoles in a couple of months than Nintendo sold Wii Us over the course of an entire year.
Microsoft also sold more Xbox One consoles in the same period, with over 3 million consoles sold since launch. A bright spot for Nintendo continues to be the 3DS, which sold a substantial 12.9 million units last year, though smartphone and tablet sales have got the be eating into their handheld market share too. Hopefully, the Big N will find its way back to its former glory in the not-too-distant future.
