Differences between playing the same game on Steam and Origin?

What are the differences, however minor, of playing the same game on Steam versus playing it on Origin? I bought a Humble Bundle pack a while ago that provided me with unlock keys for both Steam and Origin and did not restrict me to use one or the other. As far as I can see, some games on Steam will include Steam achievements, and vice versa on Origin. Otherwise, is there any real difference between which platform I use?

steam origin

Best Answer

the game is the same on both platforms. the prices may vary and there may unavailability for a couple games on either platform.

IMHO for me, its better to play games on steam online because theres better servers and nearer ones for me to play(south africa). but it depends entirely of the game.
