Unlinking EA and Steam account and linking it to another Steam Account

In APEX LEGENDS, will I lose progress if I unlink my EA account from my Steam account and connect it to my another steam account which I use more and I have more games on? When I started playing Apex, I used my old Steam account, the first one I made. Now, I have a new one which I use much more and have more games on it and I would like to have Apex there also, instead of Origin on which I play now. And if yes, is there any way to keep my progress?

    Hey @hunterone031,

    You can see this article for more details on what happens when unlinking an account. 

    Generally speaking, unlinking accounts will cause progress to be lost and currently we aren't able to transfer that from one account to another.

    In addition, you wouldn't be able to link the same type of account (Steam) to your EA Account if it's already had that type of account linked previously, so unfortunately I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to swap them around as you're hoping here, sorry.

  • Okay, now I'm 200% sure that EA is the worst gaming company in the world.

  • why give the option to unlink it if we cant link it to another account?? We can't play EA games without an origin account. So basically you're telling us "if you made an account 6+ years ago and your steam account links up with a old ea account that you dont even remember making. You're screwed because we wont let you link your steam account to the right EA account." 

    Sounds like really bad logic and customer service, thanks a bunch EA

    They are a terrible company! never ever in my life im playing a game on their platform in my life! screw them, they are such amateur with linking and unlinking accounts. seems they are stuck in the 90s or smth.. Also there support is a joke. they also keep banning people for really nothing! they will only say we have investigate the issue "cheating" goodbye 6 heirlooms and 6k hours and around 3000,- euros. 

    they just dont care.
