Fuck yeah!

 

[Hellbound]

About time.. I don't want to bother with Origin. I like Steam, I trust Steam.

i wudnt be surprised if a lot of people came over from the origin camp... theyre preorders must be weakkk

 

[aznshinobi]

OMG... THEY DO THIS AFTER I PREORDER FROM EA... WTF.

 

[enforcer22]

hahaha i knew waiting was a good idea XD

 

[AbdullahG]

Good thing I didn't buy it off Origin yet. I'm sorry EA, I will not have you snoop through my HDD for personal info to sell. I hope it doesn't require an Origin account to play. That would suck.

I wonder what will happen for those of us who preordered via Origin

 

[Guest]

I pre-ordered from Best Buy, would I be able to play it through Steam or is Origin still required to play it?

 

[sparkle_ftw]

I don't mind origin...

as of now, origin is required for all purchases on the PC. wouldn't be surprised if even the STEAM version required origin, something like gfwl on steam. it would be annoying, but i'd still choose that over just origin only. i'm a weirdo.

"We want to be able to support our customer directly"

that should be read as:

"We want to be able to snoop our customer's PC directly"

I am sure all BF3 keys will work on Steam if they make this deal. So those who bought it on Origin will no doubt be able to activate it on steam.

 

[n8dogg]

I just cancelled my origin order. The guy on the other end said that if you ordered it through origin, you will play it through origin just like any other game, it will not be a steamworks game that will have interchangeable keys . He also said that they've had tons of cancellations today and had heard the rumor.

 

[JOSHSKORN]

Now if they could just put back Crysis 2 support.

 

[aliened]

At last! some sense is coming back to EA...

 

[kcorp2003]

i dont care. Physical copy here. i have a few games on EA store before Origin, all of them got ported. pretty nice to have all my physical copies ported over to digital copies.

I like the fact EA changed their term of service agreement. It no longer does those things like what steam still does. Strange that NO FUCKING NEWS MEDIA COVER IT.

 

[itchyisvegeta]

Wow, I may buy it after all

 

[eddieroolz]

I understand a company wants control its own distribution methods, but there's nothing to be hurt by being on Steam.

 

[Guest]

so now you will launch BF3 from steam, it will open origin, then it will open battlelog on your browser and then it will open the game.

Didn't you hear? Steve Jobs is dieded. That's way more important than everything.

Yea, I'm betting on this more than anything.

 

[Pilk]

LOL Long live fail steam =(

I would just like to let everyone know that Steam collects the same info that Orgin does pretty much.

For anyone interested, look it up, but in that EULA that most people just click "Yes" on, Steam is basically allowed to collect any information it pleases, just like Orgin. Not that [enter company here] will, but you give them the OK once you accept that EULA.
