    I said Britain up at the top, though a lot of British people do still call the country England themselves I believe. Or at least identify as English rather than always saying British. The union created Great Britain (which includes Wales) then there is the UK which is Great Britain and Northern Ireland together.

    If we're *really* being pedantic- the Great Britain hasn't existed as an independent entity since it was accepted into the EU in 1973. We became a member state of Europe at that point.

    Pretty sure England still exists as a country, just like Scotland does.

    Not sure about Wales, but then again, nobody is :D

    I also consider myself British, cuz half-English half-Scottish. Let's hope I have a better fate than James VI and I and his descendants, aye?

    I assure you England is a country. The United Kingdom of Great Britain is a sovereign state consisting of four countries.

    I'm not a fan of origin, but having PA on origin is great so that everybody who wants to buy/play it, can buy and play it wherever they want. Let it be via the uberstore, steam, origin or retail disk ;)

    It's a country, but it isn't independent. The European court has final say *above* the UK court. Europe have the final say on pretty much anything, the only way for that to change is if we left the EU. What I find strange is that people in this country find being part of Europe so distasteful. We *ARE* part of the EU and that's a good thing imo.

    True, I've seen a lot of British people who don't consider themselves apart of the EU, or don't like it- as you said.

    Not just people in the UK that do it. Wales was annexed by England before the union so it entered into it as a part of England at the time. Now for talking the constituent parts of the United Kingdom then yeah sure but not the entire country.

    Reminds me of a line from Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood.

    hi, its me again :p

    so i got Pa via origin (for cheaper than on steam) and in my keys section i have option to convert my key to steam, so if i would do this i risk to get banned on uber or origin...since i got game for much less than on steam and yet i can convert my origin key to steam one.

    not gonna lie would love to convert my key but not gonna do it if will be punished

    I'm sure you won't be punished for it, but I don't know.

    If there's an option to convert it to a steam key then they obviously don't care.

    Well, a better answer is" "they'd love to care but can't possibly justify it".

    You know EA cares, it's EA. :D

    (Then again wouldn't he have a problem with Valve since it cost less money on Origin if anything? Obviously they won't but- meh. :p )

    Oh yes, though it should be implied when we're talking about EA :)

    EA wins because you payed them. Valve wins because your now using steam and getting exposure. Uber wins because they get money either way.

    Its a win for everyone.
