You may have heard recently about EA removing Crysis 2 from Steam and that future games by EA such as Battlefield 3 won't be appearing on Steam. Well along with that all currently going on, Dragon Age II has been removed from Steam as well. Hopefully they'll leave what's left on Steam as it is, but as we can see, that wasn't the case for Dragon Age II. David Demartini, the senior vice president of global e-commerce for EA discussed with IGN their reasons for withdrawing Dragon Age II from steam in the below quote:
"Unfortunately, Steam has adopted a set of restrictive terms of service which limit how developers interact with customers to sell downloadable content. No other download service has adopted this practice. Consequently some of our games have been removed by Steam. We hope to work out an agreement to keep our games on Steam."
As you can see the reasons are very similar to what EA stated for removing Crysis 2.
