Dragon Age Inquisition in Steam

I bought DAI in Origin, she came out in Steam. Should I buy again? Or i can find out the game key and activate this game in Steam?

Hi @ivykisss.

I think I misunderstood the initial question. You haven't purchased DA:I through Steam, but you own the game in Origin?

If that's the case, I'm afraid you would need to purchase the game in Steam if you wanted to play it through the Steam client. Since Steam and Origin are separate platforms, owning the game on one of them wouldn't grant access through the other.

Hopefully that answers your question, but let me know if it's still unclear.

Thanks!

@EA_Kent I think it is not true at all cases.
E.g. I bought this game yesterday and by the fact, I'm not able to run it, when the other platform is closed (launching game on either of them causes other platform to be launched). So, technically I have an access through both of them.

@EA_KentI own it on Steam but it takes me to origin and tries to make me buy it there before launching.. very frustrating as i dont want to buy it again, so how do i make it work on steam?

  It sounds like you might just need to link up your Steam account with your EA Account.
  
  For more information on how you can link up the two accounts check out the EA Help website. Let me know if you're still having any trouble playing after the accounts are linked. Thanks!
