Same for most other game delivery platforms on the internet. That does put a big "unknown" area on the numbers and statistics, since PC games sell like hot cupcakes on Steam while the local shops are removing PC games sections all together because they lost customers to Steam.

It's "unclear" whether Battlefield 3 will be on Steam. As of right now, Battlefield 3 is only on Origins.

Per the online platform battle for full title PC games (casual facebook has won, for now). If Origin fails (again), then it will come to steam in a while, doubt it will get a steam version until they give up on their online platform, again.

Oh my! I got blinksided there. At least I got one part of that right (that it isn't on Steam). 8)

Honestly I still fear that we will have to install origin either way to play the game, like with Half Life 2 that needs Steam.

I remember using Steam when Half Life 2 first came out... wasn't that big of a deal. I understand that EA is trying to get a piece of Steam's online market share, but I'm not convinced that it will be the same as steam (in terms of taking away computer resources).
