So they dropped most of their PC titles to protect their less-easily-piratable versions, but we should care how they deliver their last few remaining PC titles…why?

Hopefully they’ll go with Steam and not their own so-far-rubbish service.

As long as EA ditches the fucking stupid “download insurance” bullshit they’ve been trying to con PC gamers with I’m not too fussed. However if I’m getting something online I want to be able to download it any time I want and also it’s got to be cheaper than buying physical software, the prices on the EA Store are a complete joke.

It’s so obviously the way forward. Computers + broadband = no need for discs. Thank fuck. Stupid wasteful things.

This is probably the most sensible thing this man has ever said and there is no doubting that the next installment of Battlefield( not heroes) will be download only.
