Battlefield 3 Will Not Be Available on Steam

GameStop just confirmed that Battlefield 3 will not be available for Steam. This is no surprise, since EA did release a list of online commerce gaming sites that will offer Battlefield 3.

Financial research firm Baird reported to GameStop during a meeting held by GameStop and told GameStop that:

“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.”

We will all have to see how well it does without Valve’s Steam platform. Will you still pick up the game even though it won’t be on Steam?
