 BF3 on Steam: Still A Possibility + BF3 Weapons Page UpAn interesting development, indeed.
James Hyde wrote: According to an anonymous report BF3Blog received from inside Valve, the developer/publisher is currently in late-stage talks with EA in bringing Battlefield 3 to the Steam digital distribution service. The rumor says that Battlefield 3 would be available on Steam just in time for the game’s release on October 25. According to the report, EA and Valve are very close to reaching an agreement regarding sales of DLC content, which is the main reason Battlefield 3 is not on Steam: Valve requires that all DLC is sold through Steam, while EA would prefer to sell via its own channels. This was the cause of another EA title, Crysis 2, for being pulled from Steam earlier this year. Many PC gamers have lobbied both EA and Valve to put Battlefield 3 on Steam for a while now. It looks like it’ll finally happen soon. We’ve reached out to EA and Valve for a comment on this story.

Re: BF3 on Steam: Still A Possibility + BF3 Weapons Page Up The Steam possibility got a little more unlikely:

Re: BF3 on Steam: Still A Possibility + BF3 Weapons Page Up Valve has gaming standards. Something that big publishers usually do not. I don't see why they have to break their policies to let DLC through. HOWEVER, it is retarded that they won't let the game be on steam simply because EA wants to control the DLC themselves. Well come on Valve, don't be stupid. At least let the game be on Steam. Still, EA is the more stubborn out of the two.

Don't care; don't reply. Jo3_23 wrote: I know someone who said they will not get it because its not on steam, now thats a hardcore steam fan lolI've seen a few people say it elsewhere. Not getting the game because it's not on your so high and mighty gaming service? Senseless idiots. _________________ |
