@dunny1g After reading up a bit you're actually correct, but because Valve doesn't own any of those games, Valve/Steam is actually the third party client/storefront in this which is why EA games open up the Origin client.

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

    @aurorum999 That's because most game publishers don't have a client, EA, blizzard, bethesda, ubisoft and microsoft owned games all require either a client log in or just an account log in.

    And yes I would too.
