Re: Can't activate origin games bought on Steam

@BaageI Did you link your Steam and EA Accounts? That is required.

    @ragnarok013 From what I've read, the only way to link the accounts is to have a window pop up in Origin when activating a game from Steam, but I've never had that window pop up.

    @ragnarok013 I contacted EA support. They told me to find the CD key for the game in Steam. I told them I have no option for CD key, so they told me I should contact Steam support and ask them for the key. I checked it out and it turns out I do have the key, only it is "pre-applied" to the game when you buy it. So I went to Steam support and what do you know, they tell me to contact EA because "they can't give the best support for EA products".

    @BaageI When you spoke with EA Customer support did you ask them to link your Steam and Origin accounts as I stated?

    @ragnarok013 I asked about 3 different people to do that, but they just kept referring me to all the other stuff. Gonna ask again today though
