You know, Battlefield 3 isn't Origin exclusive. It just isn't on Steam.

From recent reports it will require you to install origin, the same way retail steam integrated games do.

I don't see the problem with offering decent competition to Steam other than the fact that it's EA that's doing it.

Yes. And they're doing it in a totally toxic and awful way that no one should support. Your game entitlements/licenses are revoked after two years of inactivity along with other bullshit. GoG would be a fine competitor to Steam if they expanded. Their ideals and functionality are great.

Correct. Running and playing Battlefield 3 will require Origin running. It will also never be on Steam.

The problem is that it ISN'T decent competition for Steam. The service is lacking in every regard except it's vast library of EA titles.

...so apparently the PS3's getting a price drop.

And there's a crappy, no-wifi version of the PSP coming to Europe for 99 euros.

That said: Really, Bal. Do you want to support this? Do you want to give EA money for making you suck exclusive origin dick? Yeah. The video looks great. I kind of want to play it, but my hate for this bullshit is much stronger than my need to play that game.

It'll be really hard to suck all that exclusive Origin dick, with Steam's dick a total fixture in there already.

see the difference is that Origin is like ass to mouth

Hey now, let's not go down talking ass to mouth.

Man, what happened to you, Bethesda?

So you didn't hear that Notch took those lemons and made awesomeade?

Brentai · « **Reply #3031 on:** August 18, 2011, 03:16:00 PM »

If Notch let this go to court he'd actually MAKE money in people stuffing his legal coffer with donations to help the up-and-coming indie developer defend against a big publisher's utterly fucking frivolous lawsuit. I hope it happens despite his better intentions.

Lottel · « **Reply #3032 on:** August 18, 2011, 03:17:14 PM »

I actually hope it ushers in a new age of gaming companies settling legal disputes through games.

DestyNova · « **Reply #3033 on:** August 18, 2011, 05:37:13 PM »

This can only lead to THUNDERDOME!

Brentai · « **Reply #3034 on:** August 18, 2011, 07:50:10 PM »

I'd go with a "I CHALLENGE YOU TO MORTAL KOMBAT" but it's like the very first joke in Megatokyo.

Also probably the last.

Thad · « **Reply #3035 on:** August 19, 2011, 10:27:50 PM »

Ubisoft requires Internet connection to run From Dust, lies about it, deletes evidence of lying about it.

Do I even need to mention that the game was cracked on day one?

I'd point out that DRM doesn't fucking work, but somebody might de-karma me.

I've got a feeling that EA is TRYING to make BF3 fail on the PC.
Newest nugget of shit is that it doesn't have a fucking in-game server browser
You have to use an external thing

THE CONSOLE VERSIONS DO HAVE A BROWSER.
Add the use of punkbuster, origin being a shitheap and PAID ZERO DAY DLC I have gone from hyped as fuck to HELL NO

Brentai · « **Reply #3039 on:** August 20, 2011, 07:54:04 PM »

Sometimes I get the feeling that the big name publishers have a Ballbusting Quota to fill. I mean a lot of them really do go way the hell out of the way to seem totally despicable. Is there a weird sort of psychological marketing advantage to this?
