I think it's more EA realized their own launcher is retarded and leaving money on the table by not having their back catalog on Steam.

This will be the greatest game ever.

While I can imagine the convenience of launching games through Steam is contributing factor, I still have a hard time seeing why anyone would purchase those old EA games when pirating them is incredibly simple. None of the people who made those games will see a single cent so why give EA your money?

The games aren't there to be played, but to be added to backlogs

I don't think you need the ea app in the background for those, actually.

What was wrong with it aside from playing as the bad guys? Just remember it as being a fairly typical Pandemic game before they got the axe.

That's kind of an insult to Ubisoft games. it aspired to be both a GTA and Assassin's Creed and failed to live up to either. Game has 9000 different targets to destroy in order to earn money but you quickly gain a surplus of it and any further demolition just serves to make an easier game even easier. They were going to have planes and the very first mission ends with you escaping on to a runway then just cuts to you driving peacefully away from the base as they couldn't get the game to stream fast enough on consoles to include planes so they just axed them entirely.
If I were to compare it to any game I would say it's a less entertaining Just Cause. The only thing that is has going for it is the tits.

sounds pretty bad then. it's always kinda sketchy how they throw it together with other "retro" games it has nothing to do with, like the selection that just got released. ea doesn't really want that game in their catalogue it seems lul

Some potatoes are reporting that Dungeon Keeperr 2 contains Loszek Pieszczoszek (Pet Dungeon in the original) with potato voice.
Somehow it does not show up on the Steam page and it's missing from GOG version despite GOG being (sorta) Potato site and they could not get it for years while EA just randomly drop it on Steam? That's... odd.

You could grab an external USB DVD drive for something like 10 bucks if you feel the itch.
the saboteur is AA game back when they made them, it can be fun for a bit if you like the setting. it's decent enough for what it is. stop hatin'

Great game, I already own it on the 360 but nabbed it on Steam now too.
Gonna replay it over the coming weeks alongside finishing up KOTOR and going through KOTOR 2 too.
Honestly, if you want a great looking, tiddy infested, brain-off modern blast to break up RPGs, then the Saboteur is ideal.

Anyone played it?
Just a shame it felt unfinished. From what I remember the story ends when things were starting to get good.
