I think you're thinking of valve. Look at the pricing for episode 1 ($20 for a 6 hour game) and now the price for episode 2 ($40, though it does come with portal and tf2, but still) , not to mention when they release them, the games are just as buggy as with ea, only diff is steam allows them to quietly patch them so no one notices.

Oh, and rumour on the street is $10-15 for the 2142 booster. That was the pricing for the bf2 ones and imo, it's worth it. My biggest complaints with ea's handling of 2142 are a) no native 1280x1024 resolution (though you can change this with a shortcut command), b) too many dipshit servers where the admins don't enforce the rules (which isn't really ea's fault) and c) the slowlness of the master server on some days (you think they'd have set it up in advance to handle a heavy load of players).

Well, $10-$15 ain't bad. But I'll probably need to see it actually working before I spend money on it, even if it is only $10-$15...
And yeah, Valve...umm...Yeaaaahhhh xP
