[Rumour] Valve & EA Want Their Online Services On Wii U

[DSGamer64]

If they make it Origin exclusive, then why not just make it youtube exclusive, and google exclusive whilst they're at it. That would be a good idea, wouldn't it?
No. If they're going to offer a service, they shouldn't alienate alternatives like that, and getting steam on board could be just as good as getting EA.

I like the fact that they're pushing online like this, and that they're giving other companies more of a say, rather than being overly strict, but its important to have firm guidelines, and if they're pushing for more online, as it sounds, then blocking off other companies would also be a daft move.

Especially giving EA free reign over their online services =/
Very daft.

Except Origin is absolutely awful. Why would I want EA's crappy casual trash flooding my console when I can have a wide array of genres to choose from that are made by a plethora of developers from Steam? Steam yes please, Origin, no thanks, EA can shove it up their rear ends as far as I am concerned, I don't want their DRM forced down my throat.

EA want their online service on Wii U?
Well I don't don't their online service anywhere near it!

Steam's okay though, I trust steam even with the recent security breach, they were sincere about it entirely.

Where can I write Nintendo and tell them what an awful idea this is

Sounds like the WiiU will have a really good online.
Hopefully the 3DS gets cross-game voice chat and names instead of friend codes in an update.

Not with EAs help.

I was kinda jk before, but I really think we should spam Nintendo support for the want for valve online and down with ea online . I know there is only slight chance this is true,but still.
Who wants to make a Operation Steam?

Edit: added online

Is allowing say spyware worth it?

Have fun never getting any EA titles on your Wii U then.

Oh yeah, they also publish all the console ports of Valve's games. So have fun with that too!

Let's not even forget some of their other franchises. FIFA, James Bond, Crysis, pretty much anything BioWare (Dragon Age, Mass Effect, etc), Burnout, the list goes on. If EA really starts getting hard for Origin, then people are either gonna have to put up or shut up.
