The EA and Steam saga marches ever onward. Dragon Age 2 is no longer available on Steam, apparently pulled just as the new "Legacy" downloadable content was released. No reason has been given by Steam or EA regarding the absence.

This wouldn't be the first time a game was pulled from Steam in recent weeks. When Crysis 2 disappeared from Steam, it seemed like a shot across the bow of Valve's digital service as EA aggressively marketed its own service, Origin. EA claims the issue was merely an "agreement with another download service which violates [Steam's] new rules

grr origin is stupid i got it today ;/

"FAQ
What happened to the BF3 videos?
EA did not want the videos posted, so they were removed. If you keep videos up of BF3 Alpha you will undoubtedly get a copyright strike and your Alpha account banned.

Why would you break the NDA?
I feel people should get to see games early, so that all the necessary alterations needed to make them great can be made well in advance. I dont believe the 2-3 weeks between BF3 Beta and the release of the full game is enough time to fix major flaws, as was the case with the Crysis 2 beta and release.
I feel I was very careful to show the game in a good light.
Without wanting to make excuses but to explain rather why I felt I had some leeway with the videos I posted. I read the full NDA, unlike some who just read the first section. Further down there are some exclusions where provision of information would not amount to a breach of NDA, one of which is if the information is widely available. As there were already videos up on YouTube with hundreds of thousands of views, I felt this at least partially arguably was the case.
EA disagreed and to all who post, you will get a ban/ copyright strike if you keep videos up.
In the end he who dares wins. I chose to run the risk. There are benefits and consequences to doing so and I was happy with the decisions I made.

When will there be more BF3 footage on this channel?
As soon as EA gives permission for such footage to be shown. I have a series of privated videos I will release.

What footage will you post now?
Videos upcoming: Dexus Ex: Human Revolutions - BF3 beta - Guild Wars 2 - Dead Island - Assassins Creed Revelations - BF3 - MW3"
