EA: Steam removed Dragon Age II, not EA

EA has posted a response in regards to the Dragon Age II removal from Steam, claiming that it was not the choice of the publisher but rather, by Steam itself.

“At EA, we offer our games and content to all major download services including GameStop, Amazon, Direct2Drive and Steam,” said David DeMartini, SVP of Global E-Commerce for EA. “Unfortunately, Steam has adopted a set of restrictive terms of service which limit how developers interact with customers to sell downloadable content. No other download service has adopted this practice. Consequently some of our games have been removed by Steam.

“We hope to work out an agreement to keep our games on Steam.”

Looks like EA is pushing the blame to Steam, but “restrictive terms of service” can mean a whole lot. Without a clear explanation, it’s just more BS. No words from Steam yet.
