Electronic Arts was the publisher behind all of them and to get them, you needed to have EA App\/Origin installed, a separate storefront with more data shared, more card details stored, and more hassle to just pick up and play \u2013 not helped either by the fact the EA storefront is not the most user-friendly storefront in town.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, for reasons known only to men in big wigs who sit around board tables, over 20 classic EA titles have appeared on Steam so you can add them to your library with the other games you love.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Absolute classics like the Command &amp; Conquer franchise and Dungeon Keeper \u2013 we love Dungeon Keeper are there \u2013 even the daddy of the God sim, Populous and Populous 2 are there (side note, I reviewed Populous 2 originally back in the day for the Atari ST. Never say I don\u2019t know my stuff!)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whatever the reason these games have suddenly appeared, we should rejoice and encourage EA that choice is the way forward by picking one or two of them up and adding them to our Steam libraries as things like Dungeon Keeper 2 are only $2 at the moment<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">List of classic EA games you can now find on Steam<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is like a rockstar Hall of Fame for some of the great games of yesteryear.
