EA steams up
Everyone knows this already, but Spore, Spore Creepy & Cute Parts Pack, Mass Effect, Need for Speed(tm) Undercover and EA SPORTS FIFA Manager 2009 are now available on Steam, with Mirror's Edge, Dead Space and Red Alert 3 coming soon!

Eg EA is now on Steam, so their own crappy downloader can finally be shot and left for crows


source: Valve.

And hopefully no SecurROM on the steam releases. I really want to get Dead Space on PC but I can't be doing with any of that DRM bullshit.

It's a bit more than a few quid, for a reason I've forgotten Steam have ditched the dollars europe-side and gone for local pricing schemes, and as usual we get a far rawer deal. For instance the same game from Steam in the UK may cost you 40 quid as opposed to £25 stateside. Certainly missing the 2 dollars to the pound we had a little while ago

Either way, lets hope far more people follow suit and realise that you don't need Securom in Steam games.

Steam is less shit than SecuROM imo. Though I don't own a PC, so I shouldn't really be allowed to comment.

You're absolutely right though, Steams DRM is fine - SecuROM is absolutely awful.

Some of the deals on there are lovely, some decent new games for under £25 and some older decent games for less than £10. My bandwidth is taking a hammering.

Left 4 Dead incoming!

Been waiting for the price to come down a bit. It's still 30 quid in most shops.

*pew pew* Take that, zombie scum!
