    are already available through the classic game service GOG. But more choice is always a good thing. This is particularly true when it comes to making older games more accessible on modern platforms, something that’s becoming increasingly rare for all but the biggest titles.

    They were on GOG, more access to more people and compatibility.

    The article isn’t that long and you missed that?

      That’s not an explanation of why it took them so long.

      It’s the article’s writer (not an EA representative, so it’s just the writer’s subjective opinion) saying “the games were already available elsewhere, but it’s good they are now available on Steam as well”.

      Also, you should tone down your snarkiness.
