When the news broke that Dragon Age 2 was no longer available on Steam, some fans were outraged that this was an attempt by EA to block users from purchasing games on the competitor's service, thereby forcing games to use Origin. It sets a bad precedent and before you know it, all major publishers require installations of new always-running, always-connected services in the background.Īs expected, EA is taking lots of heat for the advent of Origin, especially since they will be encouraging PC gamers to use it in order to play Star Wars: The Old Republic and Battlefield 3 (by not allowing those games on Steam), but what's made it worse is that some key EA titles that were already on Steam, have started disappearing, namely Dragon Age 2, which made headlines last week. While we can understand publishers attempting to take control of the selling of their own video games and additional content, forcing users to subscribe to another, separate service when we already have one, sucks. Electronic Arts is attempting to launch a new service on gamers, one that works like Valve's popular Steam, but one that only works for EA products.
