EA games being removed from Steam to be Origin Exclusive.

Crysis 2 is the first to go that I've seen. Pretty much confirms no BF3 on Steam. Looks like gaming is going down the fucking toilet.

It might just be me, but this seems like a REALLY bad business decision

I wouldn't be concerned. Origins is going to fail massively, EA will panic and then add them back to steam.

They are just removing it from future sales, not removing it from people that paid right.

And nothing of value was lost.

EA link screwed me out of my 2142 CD key, I won't be suckered by EA's shitty d2d clones again

I'll probably buy a physical copy of BF3 off amazon or something instead, whatever, not like BF games will ever have steam integration

I would assume.

No one gives a shit about Crysis 2 but about all of EA's future titles.

EA's marketing department is now hands down the undisputed kings of failure. BF3 could not have had more going for it, E3 comes and they fucking hammer every nail in the coffin at the same time.

This will fail in a year, and EA will go back to steam. but I don't really care because EA doesn't make any games that I play anyway.
