there is no Dead Space 3 on Steam?, why?

I play games on every possible platform, but if a game is on steam, I'll get it on steam. And come on, you can't seriously say you didn't see a ton of people say if it's not on steam, they don't want it.

one of my issues with origion is the lack of support for either the games or the user face. Steam works hard on their shit and even works on getting controller support for their games. I use my rig as pretty much my home console so i enjoy the ability to pick between mouse or controller because i prefer a controller more. But hell if they added controller stuff to DS3 ME3 and Dragon age ill play on their client with no problems, though kinda be nice if they just caved in and Partnered WITH steam instead of against

I'm probably older than you boy.

And both you and Delta took my post the wrong way, where exactly did I say that I don't use Origin?

Who said it is only because of their own digital distribution? Everybody knows that EA is capitalistic company.
And yes, they FORCED people to use their own distribution. They could releasing their games on various distribution (look at ubisoft), but no. They want all profit. Yes, I know that you will say "but valve have their games only on steam too". Yes, they have. But they cant move their games because of structure (VAC, workshops, server browsers, etc). But EA can, they dont have their games connected with origin.

Because EA make poor games only. I don't even notice that EA is gone from steam. Why we need their half finished games at twice the price?

Yes, they are and as far as good games are concerned they are made by the developers not EA.Every aspect that EA as a publisher is responsible for sucks monkey ballz including Origin.

So which good games they make? MOH which is dead because of EA stupidity? Garbage named SimCity? Unplayable turd aka lensflare simulator which runs on worst engine with worst netcode ever made, and where "guns" shoot everywhere but not where player wants? Or joke Need For Speed series? PvZ2? They destroyed almost all reputation and game series which EA made in past 15 years.

My problem is people usually ignore Valve's faults in favor of damning others.

I'm going to point you at this comment, and say you prove it

Companies only exist if they make a profit. Anything else is secondary. You can aspire for those other reasons, but working at a loss means you'll eventually close down. It's the same reason politicians pander to votes instead of sticking to those ideals.

Funny thing is EA is such an important name in the industry exactly because of point 2 and 3.

That's why they had the balls to be so greedy. Because almost everything that came out of their quarters satisfied the majority of gamers and tried to take gaming to next level. Few "next-level" ideas from EA... Sims, NFS series (underground), Mass Effect series, RA series, Dead Space series, Battlefield 1942 and BF series, and the last but not least... Mirror's Edge. All these games when they came out they came out with new things that the gamers out there embraced. So keep failing more. Most retarded ways of DRM? Look at Ubisoft and then we can talk about it. What Ubisoft does is indeed retarded even tho it is highly profitable for them.

Yop. We sell you half game and rest as DLC - look at NFS MW 2012 and desperate attempts to sell DLCs. :D

And yet they enjoy every moment of it.

I'm guessing it's just an option.

Still, option taking those rumored 30% from devs...

Steam doesn't have problem with devs selling DLCs outside of Steam. They have problem with not selling DLCs inside of Steam. Mostly because DLCs can bring even more money then games themselves...

MMOs have only recently had the subscriptions available to purchase with Steam wallet.

Besides, you can still get DLCs through their own services, but Steam requires you to be able to purchase it in Steam as well. The only game I know which didn't have a DLC that could be bought in Steam was Bioshock 2, before GfWL was removed.

"What great job did EA with L4D1 & 2?" - EA worked at the engine of those 2 games in case u didn't know. Why do u even bother to write some bullshit if u don't know what happened?

People with datacaps (like me with 75GB a month) fiind retail copies quite useful. We don't all live in countries with uncapped services available.

I'm pretty sure there are still more sales of retail games than pc games. Otherwise how do we have a thriving three console rivalry?

Well, Dead Space 3 certainly is one. NfS: Rivals aswell. Then the two newest MoH titles, SimCity. And these are just the ones that immediately came to my mind.

RIP Westwood is all I can say.

lol to others you say "use google" but youself obviously don't follow your own words. Anyway.

Some that come to my mind: Bullfrog, Origin, BI, Westwood
