Future of Origin requirement for launching games on Steam

Hello, i have a question about the transition that EA is making from Origin to the brand new EA app. As of now games like Dragon Age Inquisition and Mass Effect Legenday Edition require to be logged on Origin to be launched from Steam. I used Origin up until now, then i saw the message about EA app going out of beta and becoming the new standard, and since Origin told me to, i decided to install EA app. Now with the install done, i don't know why Origin is not anymore in my PC, probably because it was automatically replaced by EA app, and now i can't launch anymore any EA games from Steam because it asks me to install Origin again. What can i do about it? Will Origin requirement be removed anytime soon? I love Bioware games, definitely my favourites so i would love to play them. Thanks and have a nice day

    Hi @FGPack Currently Origin is still integrated with Steam to launch your EA games you own through Steam, You can redownload the client from Origin.com

    If you want to keep both clients installed until Origin is replaced by the EA App you can have both clients on your device (But only one can be running at a time). As for any integrations with third-party clients be sure to keep an eye out for future updates. 

    Thanks!
