Dear EA, and DICE,
       We the PC gaming community have recently noticed the introduction of the ORIGIN digital distribution platform.  As a whole we have no problem with this, or even BF3 and other future titles being released on such a platform. But as you may know, many of us choose to use, and love STEAM.. Alot of gamers will use only steam ( while some hate it all together ). But Steam has 3 million + users, to ignore this is to lose out on 3 million + potential sales. .. I can assure you that if this game is not available either directly on steam or on disk linkable to steam ( without origin or any other 3rd party software running ). Alot of gamers will simply not buy the game all together.. I URGE you to not make this mistake, BF3 is shaping up to be one of the finest games ever made.. Please do not let this happen , for your sake, and us gamers as well.. We thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely the PC gaming community.
