US giant GameStop says so.
US giant GameStop has said EA won’t sell upcoming first-person shooter Battlefield 3 on Valve’s Steam.
Financial research firm Baird spoke with GameStop bosses and in its report it said: “The upcoming EA title Battlefield 3 will be sold as a download through GameStop, but not through Steam.”
“Given Steam’s dominance and insistence on users downloading a Steam client application publishers are likely to be receptive to a competitive alternative,” the Baird report read, as reported by Develop.
