Linking Steam and Origin account

@Shaddeath 

You only need to link your accounts the first time you play an EA game on Steam.

1. Sign into Steam.
2. Launch an EA game from Steam by clicking Play.
3. Install Origin if you haven’t already.
4. Origin will launch and ask you to link your Steam account and your EA Account.
5. Log in to Origin using your EA Account info or create a new EA Account.
6. Steam will install your game and let you know when it’s ready to play.

But, for this need should buy game again only Steam! I have this game in Origin, and i want just add it in my steam library, rather than buying it second time!

I really wish we could do this as well.

I only have Origin installed to play Bioware games, and I'd hoped that with their release on Steam I could remove the Origin launcher from the equation altogether. But I don't think EA wants us to do that.

I have no intention of buying the games a second time, so I guess the Steam release didn't change anything. It's just a secondary way for them to make money since Steam has a large consumer base to draw from.

It's irritating.

@staindgrey;  Actually, you *can* link Steam and Origin games.  Only the other way.  🙌

You can add non-EA games to your Origin Libary.  I've done it for my Steam-purchased Tomb Raider games and it works fine. 😎

Hm. If the Steam library weren't significantly bigger with achievements and friends, I might want to do that.

Really it's a mild, almost nonexistent annoyance that's barely worth complaining about. But when GFWL games migrated to Steamworks, they let your code work as a way to redeem them in Steam. I'd kind of hoped the three Dragon Age games would follow something similar. Wishful thinking.
