Is Valve out to get the industry giant EA or has EA completely lost their mind?

EA is once again pointing the finger at Valve after Dragon Age II was taken off of Valve’s downloadable service, Steam.  Last month Crysis 2 disappeared off of the download list and Alice: Madness Returns was late to appear on Steam after it released.

Since then EA has been on the defensive saying that this is Valve’s doing and has nothing to do with EA’s online EA Store.

^^ Complete BS. Damn I hate EA.

I've heard there getting removed because the DLC for the games has to be bought directly through the game, and not on steam itself, which was a new thing in the most recent terms for steam, and it explains why the ME games and first DA are still on, since they where up before the terms changed. Can't really fault either to much, as it's both trying to maximize there profits, with EA cutting out the middle man for DLC, and valve not agreeing to a practice that gets them less money.

It is still very iffy to me that this all happened around the same time as the Origin release.
