Re: why do i have to buy a subscription to ea play to play origin through steam?

@CarbonCarli understand. im just saying,

• if nothing has changed,
• and this new additonal extention of ea play has been added to steam,
• where we literally gain nothing except to pay to use origin through steam
• while not having access to our titles without said subscription unless we use origin WITHOUT steam

then what is the actual purpose that would motivate any level headed consumer to purchase this subscription unless they were entirely new to the existence of ea and origin titles (like someone that has never bought an ea game).

for the rest of us this is absolutely useless and i still have long lists of games i haven't even played yet that i've bought on steam (bought as in i own, where no subscription or trial was needed.. i just bought them)

i also have games on ea i haven't played yet, but as i do very strict custom firewall rules, i can't ever get origin to connect like any other game or program that i use (steam). so, that's why my games are sitting there, im not playing them until im no longer using or buying from steam, and i wont be buying in the future. that's also why i was excited, and now really let down, when i heard about ea play on steam.

valve doesn't "own" many other games that it hosts, and a great portion of them don't have to open up a launcher.. they just launch the <insert explicitive here> game

i'd be more willing to buy a steam hosted ea play subscription if the ea titles actually did that

This is actually a really good topic to discuss 👍

aww, snaps so basically I have two buy a subscription in both steam and origin to have access to EA Play content?
