EA Gets Ready to Throw Down With Steam - UPDATED

[samsonguy920]

And behold, the indie developers looked up, and heard many voices cry out, 'Hallowed is the Origin!' They climbed the hill, and looked through the high fence, and saw many megaphones pointed at a giant symbol of a vortex with the letters EA over it.
And then they went back to what they were doing, with new confidence that their work was going to get out to the gamer masses. Because EA was going to alienate gamers galore with this new contrivance.

Short of The Old Republic, which I will be able to find by other means, this doesn't bother me one bit. Because I am not going to get anymore of EA's malware riddled trash. Nothing coming out lately inspires me, especially with the crap EA is pulling with Battlefield 3.
I just hope Valve doesn't lose the initiative and ends up pulling crap moves in return with Steam. Like screwing it up even more than it has been lately.
STOP DISCONNECTING! (And no it isn't client side)

Hey look. Two moderately evil companies are going to duke it out.

Spoiler

I hope they both go under.

I don't see how this can end poorly for anyone.

EA- Stop -.- Your download system sucks.
I'll stick with Steam over EA anytime. Here's why. I'm in France right now. I have only internet while at school. Not a lot of free time at school.
But when I go home to the house with no wifi or internet, Offline Mode=Game time.
EADM experience- Oh! I should install BF2142! Oh...EADM...okie...I can do that...what? I can't use it because it's not the right patch but I can't patch because EADM won't actually recognize my account...? F___ing piece of s__t. Ugh. No more BF2142

Gotta respect EA for trying to take on Valve but it won't work. When it comes down to it these things are all about their exclusives and The likes of battlefield and this old republic just don't have the might to square off with games like portal, TF 2, HL or left 4 dead, to name a few, still this could deffo get interesting, time for some popcorn, doritoes, beer and Jager
