Defiance available allready at Origin?

When i look at Origin
It says defiance is available instead off pre-order.
Is this a mistake or?

Its definitely not available as anything else than a pre-order.

It says for me on the Origin store...

It pretty much is EA's version of Steam. Initially though it was to feature just EA games... but they seem to be branching off.

This guy speaks the truth.

Yep it sucks. It basically guarantees that Defiance will not be on Steam. I will be getting a hard copy from Gamestop or the Digital Download. I will never re-install the p.o.s. that is Orgin.

So sad it isnt even top 6 of most sold.

What?

Why wouldn't Defiance be on Steam just because it's on Origin? Last I checked Trion Worlds was not owned by EA.

Exactly, Origin is just another distro/ubter of the product.

That doesnt many any sense. EA was co-publisher for TSW and even TSW is on Steam.

I think its just the fact that Steam is growing so fast, it may take a while. Theres all kind of stuff on Steam, just now its even possible to get Linux from there. Linux is basically OS what Valve uses for Steambox. It must be crazy currently at Valve.

I have Origin installed on my Gaming PC for Mass Effects 3. Orgin keeps ME3 updated and I can buy DLC downloads. The current Origin version as of 2/25/ 13 is Version 9.1.13.89
I am sure Origin will keep Defiance update when there is a patch.
