Hey @aurorum999
Unfortunately that's how it's always been, most if not all EA games on Steam open up the Origin client, the same applies to Uplay for Ubisoft games. I am not a fan of this myself which is why I only buy my EA games direct through Origin. But I don't know if using the Origin client through Steam is Valves idea or EA's.
As for the subscription itself, you have to buy a separate subscription for Origin and Steam as they are both different platforms the same as Xbox and Playstation.
Hope that helps friend.
aww, snaps so basically I have two buy a subscription in both steam and origin to have access to EA Play content?
