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.
