They have a really stupid reason why it was pulled from steam also. Its really stupid, Steam is a download service, they shouldn't care if a game is on a different platform or not. http://www.pcgamer.com/2011/06/16/crysis-2-steam-removal-not-an-ea-decision/
That is... idiotic. A lot of games on Steam are cross platform. Including some of Valve's own.
Five bucks says they're just being petulant because of Origin
Actually, the precise change and other download service haven't been divulged:
The nature of the change in terms that prompted Crytek to remove Crysis 2 from Steam is unclear, as is the identity of the other download service.
Could indeed be regarding Origin or some other download service. Which are the digital download services that offer Crysis 2?
Or it could mean that steam doesn't accept a digital download PC title that has timed exclusives with another download service. Notice that I'm not refering to distributor-specific preorder bonuses. More like a post-launch timed DLC only available in Origin for a couple of months.
If the latter is the case, that could well stop ME3 from being sold on steam for example. Could.
