EA Games May Be Returning to Steam

[Dynamonic]

A few news articles have surfaced over the last 24 hours reporting that EA Games is preparing to make a return to Steam, likely in the form of a Uplay style Steam-Origin integration.

So EA is returning to STEAM...

As it turns out EA teased a picture of a EA coffee cup with steaming hot coffee in it.

Along with recent rumors that EA is returning to STEAM. This makes it all but official. They now just have to say when and how this is going to work. I am personally happy about the decision. I think epic and others are not far behind. STEAM clearly won the war. Even Microsoft is selling its games on steam now.

AND THEY OWN WINDOWS 10. I'm sure EA has looked at the numbers and come to the realization they will not over take steam and have sold very little compared to what they use to sell by trying to make a exclusive platform. Its a no brainer not just for EA but EPIC, Activision/Blizzard and everyone else. Even GOG and there amazing support for classic titles. Steam really needs GOG to come under there umbrella. Keep the classics alive and supported.

What do you all think?

Edit: Merged.

I think that you, without a single proof nor a knowledge of the terms of agreement, spit your hate towards any other platform (especially Epic and Origin) and you basically wished for a stronger monopoly with Valve as a lone competitor. Nice one, you SteamFunzs are always able to amaze me so much.

PS: Just for your information, it seems that you are going to have a double layer of DRM, because EA will never drop Origin to please Steam Users ;)

NOT the FBI eredeti hozzászólása:

It doesn't require Origin I think, and it's not even on the Origin store. Not sure if it ever even was, but I once contacted their support to try and get it linked to my account and they were of no help.

>EA-related customer service being completely useless
Who could have guessed

So I guess it's time to buy BF3 and BF4 on Steam? Hmm, sounds good to me.

haha, I wish I could use my old copy of BF3 in Steam. It was one of the first online games I played and purchased, if not the first, in 2011/2012. I've like 2000 hours on it - I used to play it a lot, and my dad got into it too! And he was never into any modern games since the SEGAs and the old PS1 & PS2! I eventually gave my account to him since I no longer play it, but he still plays it since 2012, and to this day he's still playing it when he has some time for himself. He even got his own new account for it too haha. That used to be a really cool game, I really liked it and played it a lot, and it was really nice it gave me and my dad something in common for a short while.

If this is not the ultimate proof that EA is comming back to steam, then I don't know what is. :D

I wonder if that'll mean I'll be able to play Dead Space 2 again.
I got it on Steam then it moved to Origin. The game has an activation limit and EA support refuse to reset it because it isn't on their Origin.

Gotta admit that I will be sorely tempted by the Command & Conquer remasters, as long as they don't find a way to botch them.

Same here. I’ll definitely be picking them up if they come to Steam.

As I wrote in the other thread about this..
Its clear that they need better advertisement for their games, such as their new quicktime advure game, in order to make sales. None takes a chance on Origin, even if they use it, but plenty would most likely buy it on steam, due to the debate alot.
