[citation][nom]Anomalyx[/nom]Did anyone else catch how EA is complaining that Steam, a distribution platform, is behaving like a distribution platform? A couple tricky PR statements tried to make Steam look like they've done something horrible, and that their system is inadequate. In reality, the way EA wants to control Crysis 2 is what is incompatible.Here's what EA really said, in layman's terms: "We violated Steam's TOS and got spanked for it. That's ok though, because we want to control you more than Steam will allow."[/citation]
Is EA not the publisher of Steam? How is it wrong for the publisher of Crysis 2 to want to control how content that they publish and own gets ditributed? Why should Valve, a competitor, get to say how other companies get to do business?
I'm sorry, all I see in your post is how Valve, a competitor, should be the one to decide how content is distributed for EA games. Please explain why that should be?
