The story of EA's Origin and Steam as told by Futurama
Brandon Davenport
Steam has taken the PC market by storm and has become arguably the best way to buy games and connect with friends to play online. The sales are always on, and Valve has managed to breath (much needed) life back into the PC gaming market, so naturally other companies want to get in on the action. EA has a service called Origin that they want to use to compete with Steam, but will raise many moral issues as they take their games out of other outlets (like Battlefield 3 and Crysis 2). This is how the internet feels Orogin started, and how it will come to a crash n’ burn end.
