EA might be joining Steam.

http://www.shacknews.com/laryn.x?story=56404

if so, not only will every major publisher have support for Steam...but more importantly, EA the largest and most important PC game publisher, willl have a massive catologue of games to put on Steam.

This would be absolutly massive for Valve if true....They will pretty much have access to every major PC game (with the exception of all the blizzard stuff) if true.

Agreed, one man can take two versus campaigns for only so long.

agreed, also. I'm getting a tad tired of Left 4 Dead. I can only take so much of killing the same enemy over and over and over....

I hope not. It's bad enough Sony's SecuROM is infesting Steam, EA's presence would make it all even worse.

i hope that doesn't really happen. EA is a bad company imo, they make DRM stuff on people's computers from spore.

There's a mod that allows versus on all campaigns, you should check that out if you own the PC version.

Steam is DRM, although a much better scheme than 3 activation limited securom. Maybe if EA did fully go on board steam, they would drop securom out of their steam games.

That'd be great, I'm sure they'd have awesome package deals on old games I've missed and they'd have no reason for install limited DRM anymore, not that it really bothered me in the first place. Only DD services I'm willing to use atm are Steam and Impulse, they're from trusted companies and I don't want to spread my games too thin so replacing EA's crappy store would work for me. It would certainly give Steam a big boost too by introducing it to those Sims casuals.
