Battlefield 3 not coming to Steam?
by Michael Arsenault on Tuesday, July 12, 2011 , under
There has been some perceived conflict between the well established Steam platform and EA's new kid on the block, since Crysis 2 was removed from Valve's digital distributor last month.
EA's David DeMartini clarified the position saying that it was Steam's decision to remove Crysis 2 from its library, not EA's.
He also said that there had been some jarring between the two companies but dismissed it by saying that was normal in any relationship and EA intended to make its games available on as many platforms as possible.
It's not clear whether that approach will apply to Battlefield 3.

Steam or not, I do not really care tbh, since it does not effect the game in any way! :p

Lately, videogame industry is plenty of drama between companies, last I can remember was the infinity ward show.

retails should never die.. It feels nice having game booklets and their artwork/credits in a case. Also i've missed paper box cases.

I'm not a big fan of steam. I imagine this would sadden a lot of gamers though.

Totally off the subject, but do any of you play DragonAge ? I watched a bunch of their trailers, and it looked pretty damned good.
Just curious.
Keep up the good work, Michael.

Great game, but would be helpful if it were downloadable via Steam

I've never finished Dragon Age, but it's a great game. If you have the chance, play it (and if you are a fan of RPGs you will like this game even more lol ;).
Too bad to read this news. Anyway i watched the trailers and this game looks awesome and will be my next buy.

I agree with the other posters. Although it would bring more accessibility it doesn't really matter in the end if it's turns out to be a great game.

Not really a fan of PC gaming, but it does suck that it won't available in Steam.

Any idea on why so much tension between the two companies?
