Like I said speculation, they haven't released enough info about it. Needless to say I am betting they don't release BF3 on it so get your butts to your nearest store lol!

This is correct you don't have to have origin running to play the games. They do have a friends system. But I don't know anything about it.

Wait a second, I thought they had pulled Alice as well? I just saw it on Steam.

I tried to buy BF2142 a few years ago from EA online (or whatever it's/was called.)
Didn't work for me at all. Had to find it locally.

I have used steam for years and have never had an issue with them. I am glad they will have competition, as that is good for me, the consumer. But I won't begin a new system of passwords and usernames just to buy EA games. I don't buy that many EA games anyway.

I'll just buy the hard disk if I need an EA game.

by the way, I think its safe to say the claim from the original article can be refuted. BF3 is being sold for pre-order at GG and D2D. Granted that probably means nothing around here (since I get the vibe most would rather drive to a store, even it if was an hour away, then dare have to spend the 2-5 minutes to buy from another Digital download company)
