I'm geting it retail anyway but it's sickening how EA pushes their own store down the consumers troat even if they don't want it. |
Then you must really be sickened by the amount of games that push Steam down customers throats.
No one should be suprised by this news, its clear EA is making a move on the DD market after the Crysis 2 thing. I for one am happy that it is not on Steam but wish it wasnt on origin. I'd prefer it on GFWL(If I was forced to have it on a "content lisencing" website) personally just for the XBL intergration. People will suck it up and use origin to play the best FPS of the year.

Slow down. Are you really a PC gamer? GFWL sucks. A lot.

Obviously a PC gamer. I have only used GFWL on 3&1/2 games(Dawn of War 2+Chaos rising, Blacklight and Section 8 Prejudice). Only issue I have come across is I dont get XBL achievements on Secion 8(not a huge deal). Other than that its been great having XBL intergration. I have had insignifigant problems with Steam as well. With all due respect I think many in the PC gamer(not accusing you) community has been anti-MS for a wide array of reasons and are pro Steam due to it being Valve and them having insane sales. I dont believe the horror stories I hear about GFWL and while problems exist it works just fine. I actually hate all DD services except GOG but at least GFWL has a benifit.

Alright, I see your point.
Though, some of the horror stories are true, most the of the time, they are over-exaggerations. My only problem with GFWL is that I was playing GTA IV offline and when I connected my Live account to it, it erased my previous saves and I had to repeat the first part of GTA IV (it was too much, just like an hour of missions) and thank goodness for the cutscene skip button.
I do like that GFWL connects with my Live account and I can get achievements for that but overall, Steam is a better service. Granted, it was a steaming ;) pile of shit when it launched in 2004, didn't really get usable until The Orange Box came out and it's useful has increased tenfold since then.
Anyway, I'm rambling, thanks for clearing that up.
P.S. GOG is awesome (high fives)
