Lol, I love how EA is trying to make it look like Steam is doing something specifically not to have BF3 where in fact its a dlc distribution system that will benefit EA/origin directly only, and thats where all the fuss comes in. Valve wants to have chance to sell dlcs for the game as well, not just the game itself. If BF3 never makes it on steam its a big shame on EA. I myself most likely wont consider BF3 unless its on steam, but thats just me.
