Valve said the same about EA when they used them to publish the Orange Box, seems they're great as partners but not owners.

Right. People forget that The Orange Box was an EA game, too. I believe EA people even coded parts of the console ports directly or something, I'd have to look it up.

And yeah, that tracks. EA may exist only to provide a charisma black hole to cosmically balance out Steam's ability to get players to go along with complete garbage sometimes.
