Will EA games ever return to Steam?

[Mumziz]

So my question is will any EA published games return to Steam? Personally i despise Origin so damn much and EA. But they got some really good studios, like DICE and Bioware.

I mainly want them back because they seem to change their attitude. With Battlefield 4, Battlefront and Mirrrors Edge coming out I would love to have those games on Steam.

Wish they'd bring fifa to steam

Used to be a huge EA fan, but in the last decade or two I've really just become disenchanted with them after they started thinking they were incapable of failing even if they upset their customers.

EA titles usually won't come to the Steam client unless all DLC has been released for it, i.e. GOTY editions.

[Safo]

nope

[MrFord]

Probably not.

Who cares?*

*This is not intended as an insult toward the OP, or anybody else. I just don't intend to buy EA games ever again considering how progressively crap they get. q:

We will surely see them someday, just gonna take a bit of time to EA to admit their fail and giving up on Origin.


The only thing that make them survive is big release, but they surely can't ocompete with Steam.

Let's pray EA finds it's way back to consumers again. It feels silly that they shut themselves in.

Silly? ..from what perspective?
Everything on steam is also a kind of "lock themselves". At the moment Origin is considered a bad thing, but in a year or so it could be the other way arround.
Imagine Steam sold to Goldman Sachs..
I would love to port my games from one platform to another.. but that will sadly never happen.

I heard someone saying the same thing about UPLAY, it turned completly differently.

EA is releasing the games on Steam, after they're done selling it on Origin.
They did it with Crysis 2 (which was put on sale as a full GOTY edition)
Probably other titles will follow the same road.
But don't expect them anytime soon.

I have a different opinion, they reales first 2 out of 3 parts for MassEffect, DeadSpace and Crysis. After someone plays first 2 parts there is a bigger chance to want 3rd and will be forced to buy it on origin... EA's dirty strategy...

Not a good strategy as they would sell way more on Steam than Origin.

Nobody is forced to buy it on Origin. You can buy it everywhere apart from Steam.

Well right now the strategy is mainly for attracting customers to origin...

It's not really working, specially for the old titles.


It's more about the new titles that keep them alive.

But even with VALVe cut, i hardly think they will make less if they release them on Steam.

They've been doing quite good numbers since they made Origin.
Besides, we've proven ourselves that at the end of the day, what we want is to play that game
