EA's new hit shooter "Battlefield 3" for PC has been plagued by criticism due to the publisher's forceful inclusion of the "Origin" account, a DRM required to play the game online.
Origin, which is still in beta, has been in the news as it gives EA the rights to access your personal info and practically spy on you. That's without mentioning that Origin is prone to crashing and customer service issues.
Gamers who decided to purchase the retail edition of the game have been having issues, as well, with Origin.
Warez group Razor 1911, patching games since the 1990s, has come to the rescue with a patched .exe.
Says the group:
The fixed .exe is verified working, but it is likely EA is working on an update.

Razor1911 doesn't accept and support the online DRM "Origin" from EA.

legal way and don't want to install the trojan from Electronic Arts to play
