"It's official. Electronic Arts has thrown in with Valve, cozying up to Steam with a half-dozen titles from its library, an announcement semi-spoiled by the sudden appearance of Spore earlier this week.
Now available digitally are Mass Effect, Need For Speed Undercover, Spore (and the Spore Creepy & Cute Parts Pack), FIFA Manager 09 and Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning. We'd consider that a big win for Valve, considering EA's kind of the competition with its own EA Store.
The official word tells us that Mirror's Edge, Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 and Dead Space will join them "in the coming weeks."
We're still looking into the copyright protection measures employed on the EA catalog and hope that everything's hunky-dory. Thanks to Michael for the heads up."

I reallly hope that the crap that is Securom gets taken out of these games. Still, if games like Bioshock and Crysis/Warhead didn't, I'm doubting that games like Spore, Mirror's Edge, and Red Alert 3 will get their Securom removed.
Also, is it fair to have install limits on games through Steam? I mean, Steam boasts the convience of downloading games online, I think it would be lame to still have install limits on EA's games even though they're using Steam.. It's almost like it's one step backwards.
Anyway, what major publishers are left that don't have their games on Steam?
