Re: EA play linked to Steam

Hi @Massacher To confirm you can link your Steam and EA accounts together, but if you own a game via Origin or the newer EA App they will not appear as owned games in your Steam Library.

  • I have games on Origin. 

    And they don't appear in Steam. So then what is the point of linking my Steam account to my EA account?

  • because its for when you purchase EA games on steam, that it transfers over, but not the other way around

    Hey @Massacher To confirm, what @RatTailGod mentioned is correct, also some online games that you can now get on Steam require an EA account to play. Similar to playing our games on PSN or Xbox having the EA account connected is required for online features.

    Well that's just dumb. Its completely useless then as I can't access the games I bought from EA on Steam.

    How can I cancel the connection with my Steam account and connect to another Steam account? It clearly shows that I am not currently connected to an account, but when I try to connect to a new Steam account, it will prompt me that I have already connected to the account and cannot connect to another account during the usage period
