Hey everyone,
Origin and Steam will not be able to play online together. When crossplay is introduced later in development, then all platforms can play together in supported crossplay modes (Social Play and Two-Player Career modes)

That is what you believe, not know. So it is anything but certain.
And just because an employee says EA+Origin isn't crossplay, doesn't mean the developer or publisher sees it that way. Support staff quite often tell nonsense that later turns out to be untrue.
So until an official announcement is made, it's all speculation, and that doesn't help anyone. And assertions of any alleged "certain facts" helps even more nobody. Just wait and see...
I bet 5 Pitcoins that Origin-Steam 'crossplay' will come when proper crossplay comes...
It seems very hard to see how it would work otherwise, in that if PlayStation and XBOX players can have a PC player join them in a lobby what would happen? If a Steam player joins first could only other Steam players join but not Origin? And vice versa? Also, my bet is that a reason possible splitting of the PC league community wasn't seen as a concern during game development was because they expected their crossplay solution to make it a non-issue.
All just my speculation of course.
