all this is great news i guess, but i'm still waiting on the integration of some sort of return policy. ie: buy a game from steam and later trade it in for new games.

Green Man Gaming is the only digital distributor that has this service.

How about a free game instead? Origin has facebook hook up too btw

Or a feature to exchange games with your friends perhaps...

I Disagree Mr Nails. ( but I'm biased )

Steam , leeches who are on a mission to make PC gaming a platform solely controlled by them. ( like apple and it's app/music stores )
Facebook , need to say nothing , it's just a business that makes money from users info.
Both want a ""captive"" userbase.

Together , a recipe for your personal info , being yet again a vehicle for corporate profit.

Great news i guess
