Last month, rumor had it that DICE's upcoming modern day shooter Battlefield 3 wouldskip Valve's digital distribution outlet Steam altogether. Now, publisher Electronic Arts has confirmed that speculation.
The list of global digital retail partners for Battlefield 3 is extensive, but does not include Steam--the digital distribution juggernaut with over30 million users. As of press time, EA had not responded to GameSpot's request for comment on the matter.
Battlefield 3 skipping Steam is not an entirely wild scenario. EA recently opened its own digital distribution shop--Origin--and has tussled with Steam lately, pulling Dragon Age II, Crysis 2, and others from Steam.
