Crysis 2:Crytek cofounder addresses ex-employee lawsuits, allegations that it treats staff as "disposable pieces of meat to be discarded at will."

Recently, Electronic Arts and Valve have been wrangling over digital distribution of EA-published games, as EA is currently making a big push to promote their rebranded Origin service. EA has even gone so far as to remove top-selling games Dragon Age II and Crysis 2 from Steam.

Maybe you missed out on the recent Battlefield 3 alpha test and want to ensure you play the game as soon as possible. Maybe you didn't pick up a Limited Edition copy of Medal of Honor last year. Either way, looking past the recent alpha -- which was "a highly tech focused test period" anyway -- there is a new way to get yourself early access into the upcoming beta, giving you a chance to play it before the vast majority of people: pre-order on Origin.

Another Electronic Arts game has been pulled from Steam, and EA says that Valve is once again to blame.
