Most likely won't be on Steam. EA have their own platform/client, so it makes sense for them to release it on that.

Its on origin like all EA games and like battlefield 3 and 4.... download the client here https://www.origin.com/en-gb/store/

 

Edit: Just noticed that is a link to the GB Origin, hopefully it will re-direct you to the correct origin

Since EA is a bunch of greedy, souless, bastards, thus Origin is a thing. Also a lot of code in their games looks like an Italian restaurants' most popular dish.

Doesn't matter, it changes according to location of IP.

So... Valve isn't? EA moved to Origin because Valve was taking too big cut from prices (secondary reason since they could have just pumped pricing) and delayed patches in QA longer than what Sony and Microsoft did.

Screw over like force them to release unfinished games? They did that with BF3 and 4 as well. I don't say I like EA that much either. But I don't think Steam is as platform that much better than Origin. Or even any better.

In what regards? Steam is definitely a far more developed and robust platform, while Origin is barebones by comparison.

Well, they have 8 years of development difference. I'm just saying Steam isn't that much better in terms of features and usability than Origin. Both have their problems. I haven't used neither actively in about year so I can't list my issues just like that. Origin has better support. I can't say anything that Steam would have better except wider catalog of games and software (and other things they've added to make more money). Which things Steam does better or has that Origin doesn't?

Well, Steam has oodles of features that Origin doesn't. Some are: Family account-sharing, market & trading, mods workshop, in-home streaming & big picture, expanded user profiles and cloud screenshot hosting, remote game installs, community review system, game broadcasting, custom client skins.

 

Steam has kept expanding with functionality, and is in a league of its own in terms of its feature-integration, while Origin and Uplay are more similar to each other in their offerings, and seem to have settled with being basic downloader / DRM clients, with some basic amenities like a simple contacts list, and in-game browsing.

Just out of curiosity. How many of those "extended" features you feel is needed and useful to community. I agree on reviews and mod workshop being good ones. Though I rarely read reviews in Steam. I've read some in GoG.com.

My feature usage is pretty wide:

 

I regularly read user reviews,  and occasionally upload screenshots, and have set up a community profile, listing games I have to trade.

 

I've used game broadcasting from time to time to watch people as they play games I'm considering whether to buy, or if I'm feeling nostalgic to see a game being played.

 

I use a custom Steam skin in my Win7 boot, and I'll probably install one on my Win10 boot, as well. I've used custom skins wherever possible throughout my computer-use history.

 

I've used family account-sharing to play a game on my brother's Steam account, which saved me from purchasing it.

 

I've used the mod workshop a bit, and the thing that makes it really nice is that I don't have to remember and keep mods for a game on my PC, to reinstall them any time I reinstall a game... I just subscribe to the mod, and it'll always be there automatically, any time that I reinstall a game. And it will also update automatically when the author updates it. And if I ever forget which mods I have installed, all my subscribed and favourited mods are quickly viewable through Steam. Steam also lets players create their own custom mod collections of workshop mods that anyone can then one-click install, to install all the mods it contains.

 

I use the friend-invite system in Steam for L4D2, DOTA2, and will use it for whatever other team MP game I play on Steam.

 

 

Even though playing games is ultimately about playing the games, I passively and regularly make use of much of Steam's functionality, without thinking much about it. It's like an environment were any mental query that arises has its solution and satisfaction offered through the feature-set.

I definitely wouldn't put Origin in the same category as Uplay, and I think it gets a lot of hate that it doesn't entirely deserve. Origin actually has some good features that suggest EA is at least trying to compete with Steam, whereas Uplay is just forced in with little benefit for the user. Origin had a refund policy ages before Valve, and arguably pushed Valve to launch their own; and there's On The House, EA Access, and Game Time. Steam occasionally provides free games (Limbo is free at the moment), but more rarely than Origin.

 

Reliability is also a key point. Origin also works a lot more often than Uplay. I've never had a problem playing a game because Origin got in my way. Uplay is notorious for that, and I think that's far more damning than any particular features it may lack.

 

Also, why doesn't anyone complain about Battle.net using this same logic? The B.net client offers very little beyond an updater/launcher for Blizzard's games and an integrated chat app. It's far more basic than Origin, and probably even behind Uplay. But Blizzard always seems to get a pass on this for some reason.

That's probably because Battle.net predates Steam by about half a decade and the client released a few years back actually entirely replaced already existing game launchers. Added to that Blizzard never put its games on Steam only to stop doing it later(EA) or use double DRM(Uplay).
