    Hey @illiriana,

    If you have an EA Play subscription on Steam, it doesn't transfer over to Origin/the EA app. It's considered a completely separate subscription, so if you want to enjoy the benefits of EA Play on the EA app you'll have to buy a new subscription there.

What? So basically you're saying that EA decided to make it separate subscriptions for whatever device EA Play is available on, meaning if I wanted to buy a monthly for $4.99 or a yearly for $99.99 I would basically have no choice but to buy it twice if I want to use it on Steam AND with EA Desktop!? 

1: Who decided that?

2: I don't understand why they would do that as it's not like they're desperate for money.

3: That means that whoever wanted it for more than just one platform would have to save up money and buy it for both on the same day...

Incredible...
