it sounds like it will still be available for steam but there will be special editions only available on EA's service... sounds like there's gonna be a war over future "exclusive" games kinda like the ps3 vs xbox exclusive titles

You know what, it's gonna be a good thing like that steam will know that we have the choice (better prices). :icon_eek:
