And that I agree.In any case, EA's introduction of Origin and taking out their titles from Steam distribution is one of the most spiteful moves I know. I hate Origin so much but I have to use it to play Battlefield 3It's a good thing EA produces some of the best video games of this generation..
I wouldn't call it spiteful; it just makes good business sense to sell your titles only on your service to attract customers.
I'm no fan of Origin either, but let's be honest. Any company (Valve included) would have done the exact same thing in their place.
I still dislike EA for coming up with Origin instead of just selling their titles on Steam.
Not to say that Origin is bad (it still has it's issues, particularly with BF3 Online), I've used it for Mass Effect 2 and Battlefield 3. I just prefer to stick with one online content provider.
