  1. @broniebrown "I'll predict that the ones with the bigger money behind their backs will win in the end" ... Your move Nintendo ... But all sillyness asside, there is virtually no way to predict what will happen in a 3-way fight between companies. Sure you could state things like Namco or Capcom or Sega, but they are not big-time players anymore. Quite recently the Gamespy servers went down and everyone got a sour taste of "wait, I can not play [name of old title] anymore ?" which I am sure has not seen the height of it's internet-cry-time yet... And back on the topic of Origin and Uplay, if their ( crappy, shoddy, weak excuse for DRM, real customer interfering ) methods are the only way to see the games you get hyped enough for ( Watchdogs, Titanfall ). People will use Uplay/Origin. Hype is being used as a tactic to uplift the bad taste in people's mouth when they hear DRM, it might be short term, and it might be damaging to the games-market it is but it works.
