Ubisoft-every gamers' favourite Developer. Errm...and now to the news of this Company

[Feuer Frei!]

No-one will probably give a dam about this news but...here goes:

Electronic Arts today announced that popular PC digital download titles from Ubisoft including Assassin’s Creed III, Far Cry 3 and Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell Conviction are coming to Origin. Ubisoft titles are available for purchase and download to PC gamers on Origin starting today in North America, with Europe and Asia availability beginning on February 22.

In addition, for the first time EA is bringing top PC downloadable titles to the Uplay shop, Ubisoft’s digital distribution service. Dead Space 3, FIFA Soccer 13, Need for Speed Most Wanted, Mass Effect 3 and The Sims 3 are among the first EA games now available worldwide on the Uplay shop.

Sooo....clever marketing strategy? Or just desperate and hopeless? Teaming up with EA, who is not exactly a respected company in gaming circles, together, competing and rather openly, against Steam.
Good for the consumer? Perhaps. People who give a dam: not many. People who will stick with Valve's Steam: Lots.
