Re: Steam, gold edition pre load + pre order.

@CrazyPumpkin0TTV Even if you buy it on Steam the Battlefield games still run through Origin either way. That and you need an EA Account in order to play the game at all.

  • @Jesse165 But I wouldn't be able to run it through Steam cus the button is unavailable. Look, it says will be available on 19th. That's very dumb. Why there is no instruction to Steam users?? I know that u are just a player like me but that support web site told me that I need to create a ticket here lol. So I don't care.
    Also, does any1 knows how can I @ (tag) ea staff here?

    @Threedog1421 Well technically they would downloading the game on Steam and not Origin if the game was bought on Steam.

    @CrazyPumpkin0TTV Pre-load is this evening at 18:00 UTC take a look at that time, in Steam.

  • @EA_AticWell, that's splitting hairs in a way. The program still executes and is housed in Origin and not steam. From what I understand.

    When you starting the game, it will launch a mini version of Origin and then the game starts. You can't start the game in Origin you still need to use Steam for that to work. @Threedog1421
