The more publishers the merrier right? Continuing on their path to compete with Steam to offer a feature-rich digital distribution service, EA appears to be delivering on their promise to bring third-party publishers to Origin.
Capcom, THQ, and Warner Bros. have all signed on with the service offering titles such as Batman: Arkham City and Saints Row: The Third to the platform.
More details will follow later on. We’ll keep you posted.

Wow, yeah, they are definitely on the path to complete with Steam there. They really need to step up their game in terms of sales. If there is one thing Steam dominates Origin in, it would be prices.
Steam has actual useful stuff and its a good social hub, where origin is basically just a website that needs to be installed, and you cant backup installs in origin which is a big problem, its not better than the EA store that was before, well its the same thing with a new theme
Origin is tolerable, but unnecessary. EA should have just continued to have their games on Steam. Getting third party developers to support it is a valiant attempt to make it succeed and compete with Steam, but the only thing that I believe will keep it alive is Battlefield 3. My guess is that once BF3 starts to lose popularity (not for another few years I’m sure), Origin will start to die out.
