"Gamers have been worried for some time about their ability to buy Battlefield 3 from Steam, and EA has now provided an official statement on the matter: until Valve changes its policies, the game won't be available on the most popular digital distribution service in the United States. According to EA, this isn't their call; it's due to the fact that Valve has placed restrictions on how content can be shared on the games sold via Steam."

I don't really care, as much as I like steam as a thing for games I don't buy digital stuff unless it's VERY cheap, I much prefer the 'hard copy'. I pre-ordered Battlefield 3 from a local game shop a little while ago, can't wait =)
