Re: No Battlefield 3 on Steam

I do not like hypocrisy. I do not like that Valve and Blizzard get to play by different rules. That is my main point. It has nothing to do with "Valve hate" people keep shoving on me to try and belittle my points. I own every single game Valve have ever released and bought them all at full price, plus I have 300 games on Steam, but I'm a Valve hater? Fucking ridiculous.

Well, people think you're a Valve hater because you turn every DRM topic into "HOW CUM U GUYS DONT HATE STEAM TOO?!!!". You've become a predictable forum trope at this point, people literally say "here he comes to post this" and you do exactly that without fail. You say you aren't hypocritical yet you don't seem to have a problem with a lot of this stuff so long as people properly chastise Valve. Or you claim you do have a problem with it yet never seem to post about it while dedicating post after post about Steam. You're amusingly passive aggressive and almost a bit obsessive about the subject.

At least the rest of us can admit hypocrisy is part of human nature and that we all partake from time to time. It turns out that many if not all EA games are going to require Origin after all in some form whether it's to activate or to launch the games, so please where is your outrage that you seem to summon without effort when it comes to Valve? Hell EA still hasn't severed its business relationship with SecuRom yet and limited activations of their titles is a distinct possibility provided by in the TOS. EA wants Origin to be the same thing as Steam if not worse even, they want an always-on program with application persistence, ties to social sites and so on. It's all laid out in that marketing material nin posted a few pages ago. They did some initial hemming and hawing about not requiring Origin but I don't see things heading in that direction at all, I'll bet most retail bought EA games will require Origin and the ones that don't will likely still be using invasive EA DRM.
