    FU EA, I don't want anything you have to offer from your online store.

    If this is their method to try to promote Origin then its certainly a failed attempt. Bad Company 2 is the only thing on the entire list the $5 price-tag would be tempting of.

    If I am not mistaken the keys will even work on Steam. If someone can confirm this those who don't have BC2 may want to grab it for $5 and then activate the key on Steam.

    I believe you are half right. It will be released on others such as D2D
    and while that version may not require Origin to be running I have a feeling they are going to force all created accounts in the game to also be Origin accounts. So for example if I buy the game and do not have a Origin account (which I actually do not at this time) make a in game account it will also become a valid Origin account and thus force me into membership.

    In no way am I saying this is 100% certain nor do I claim to have any sources telling me such, its just a gut feeling.
