Does Crysis 2 Require Origin Now?

[Fooz]

it was on steam i know, but now its only on Origin, does that mean it needs origin to play it?

i tried google, but it didnt give me an answer

It was pulled from steam because the game broke some of its policies, probably by being available on Origin. Sadly, I think origin is mandatory for it, definitely if you want the digital download.

To be honest, it looks like EA is maneuvering all the exclusivity it can to get its Steam knockoff off the ground.
