It really depends on two things in my opinion.

One will EA lift their ridiculous limitations on install counts.

Two will people cope with EA priced games? Low cost games are one of the main reasons I choose to use steam and the cost is kept down by a lot of competition between Indie developers, however EA won't have any competition on Origin so 39.99 a game?

Given the new constraints on my time I simply can't justify such an expenditure on a game I'll play so rarely.
