EA pulled Crysis 2 from the Steam store.

I bet the same thing happens to BF3 :evil:

EA Wants everyone to move to their ORIGIN

I knew this would happen. Once DD takes over, Steam will be screwed because publishers will restrict their games to their sites.

If you already bought Crysis 2 on Steam, will you still be able to download it in the future if you need to (even if not's being sold anymore)?

they will entice people by giving them the exlusive packs..not to anyone else (direct download)

Battlefield 3... Mass Effect 3... good luck Steam.

Alice: Madness Returns and the HD update of the original are only on Origin as well. They are going all out with this service, it just means they'll fall harder when it fails.

So, the Crysis 2 sales were not so great and now EA pulls it from Steam. I can't see the logic.

So... what is Valve going to do to combat this new Origin site? They are gonna have to do something pretty impressive! Iantheone

Release Half-Life 3 exclusively on Steam, like they've been doing with all of their games.

Haha. That's so underhanded of them. I don't want to have to sign up for yet another freakin' service. I'm still annoyed that I had to sign up for GFWL to play games I bought through Steam. MrSelf-Destruct

It has origined.

I hope you'll all partake in the non-partaking of EA's dumb thing.
It really does sound really dumb doesn't it?
"No, I do not wish to sell my product in the largest digital store on the planet."

If EA wants to compete they should do so through the pricing of things, not by making things exclusive. That sort of behavior is frowned upon.

Lovely, more competition, go for it EA! :D

Well, I dunno... maybe they'll be fine like that? But if they actually try to compete for third parties to only go on Origin, then it'll be competition.. ifnot.. Damn them /rage.

I can't decide if it's good or bad.... if they don't compete, then it's bad, but obviously if they do it's good. They better still try to keep competative prices, it'd suck if every EA game just remained top dollar forever..

I hope this crysis comes to an end soon.bobcheeseball

Good luck not having support of the biggest independent publisher in the industry.

I just happened to have an appropriate screenie:

Dragon Age, Dead Space, Mirror's Edge... yeah two games. And PC gamers are not even more stubborn than console gamers.

Ready for everyone else to follow EA?

Sorry but EA can remove all of their games from Steam is they want, I won't use their Steam competitor. I've invested too much into Steam to explore new services. I'll just buy retail EA games from now on and add them to Steam. No big deal.Merex760
