EA doesn't seem to have publisher page on Steam.
Can't put them on ignore.
I would like to point out that this issue has been fixed.
how to ignore publishers on steam?
Internet search engines are your friends (sometimes).

It really seems like Electronic Assfuckers wants to keep American McGee's Alice an Origin exclusive. They either see no value in its re-release, or too much value, in which case it would make sense to make it exclusive to funnel more saps into their web of dark patterns, and keep hold of the old ones.

If you mean the original, it's not available on Origin either. It was given out as a pre-order incentive for the sequel I believe, but has not been sold on its own.

Be advised that Steam has a hard limit of 100 Creators/Curators that you can put on Ignore. Once you reach that limit Steam will throw silly error messages at you.

When you reach ignore cap it automatically adds a codex-style "safespace" tag on your steam profile

Finally I can actually try Titanfall's multiplayer.

Yeah man, you waited years to avoid Origin and ended up with Origin anyway. Congrats.

No, I meant that the game finally has people actually playing it now. I don't care about origin one way or the other, every company seems to have a launcher nowadays and at this point I think I'm more willing to give money to EA than valve seeing as to how they've treated the IPs I actually care about. Not that EA's any better tho

Oh people are playing TF2 again? Might actually reinstall it. Got tired of waiting forever for lobbies.

Yea, I'm gonna get Titanfall 2. I have been aching to play an FPS shooter, and nothing else really impresses me.

Been a premium subscriber since last year, but not sure I'm going to renew.

The biggest let-down of the sub is that it doesn't include all the content of their dollhouse murder simulator cash cow. There's also been no new releases that I could think of, other than C&C remaster, and Battlefield 5 died with one of their balancing patches.

The only reason to stick around is for the benefits that are likely to come with FIFA's playing card game mode, but it has never kept me going more than a month or two.

why
FIFA and Battlefield.

It's cheaper than buying both standalone and you get extra content.
have you considered playing better games?
Many times. But I enjoy FIFA. And Battlefield isn't completely shit.
povertyball is pretty gay tbh, don't they have a hockey game?
NHL hasn't made its long-awaited return to PC yet, but with the upcoming crapegg game coming to Steam in a week it's hopefully just a matter of time.
