EA and Valve , Steam partnership

This is probably a minor detour on the roadmap to be honest. Weren't EA developing their own cloud streaming system - Project Atlas? That's where they'll probably be heading in the end.
 
If I remember correct EA has shares of Ubisoft
and EA supports Valve while Ubi supports Epic, sounds like a cooperation battles of whom's decision better
btw it's good to see the latest EA games are back on Valve
I barely purchase an EA game since they gone Origin only.
 
Buying on Steam is just a storefront purchase. You do not get any Steamworks features everything goes via the Origin client as before so the only difference is Valve now get a cut of the sale & gamers who do not bother looking any deeper get to have yet another storefront client running at the same time!

I do not mind running a secondary storefront client behind steam, at least my collection is tidy and neat in some way.
It may sound troublesome but I do believed there's someone else who shares the same idea.

Exactly. Got happy for a moment when I read EA was coming back to Steam, but just like Ubisoft games you still need a second launcher. No thanks...

If EA and Ubisoft want me to pay for their games they need to fix this or miss out, I know I won’t ;)

EA sold their stake in ubi about 10 years ago

Would be great if they enable Workshop. Lots of great mods for Mass Effect. Also cool for linux users if they can now use Proton with EA's games

I've actually been thinking of playing some ME1 again but was hoping to find some good 4K texture packs for it. Maybe Kaiden will survive for once
 
Nice, I wouldn't mind having unravel on Steam!

Argh, shame it has to use origin, so we don't get achievements etc :(.

Yeah, once they fix that and it does not need origin I will reconsider buying an EA game. They have not had any money from me in years I think. Last I got a fifa game from them about 4 years ago, but with all this focus on ultimate team and lack of changes it has all got stale and pushed me even further from giving them any money.
