Thanks for all your help. I actually disputed the charge for the game since it doesn't work properly & got my money back, so maybe once it goes on sale on Steam I'll pick it up there. I can't justify installing EA/Origin just to accommodate one purchase. I still need to upgrade my GPU in order to take full advantage of what these games can offer anyway, so I don't mind waiting...

If you do that I would suggest to you, as to anyone else, to get the game directly in EA app.
You need the EA app anyway, and the connection between the accounts and the second launcher is a problem waiting to happen.
Thank you again for the suggestion. Do you think having purchased it from Epic & previously installed through EA/Origin will interfere with buying it straight from EA? I'm going to uninstall it just to see if it'll let me buy it from a different source. At this point it wouldn't stun me if their technical inadequacies would prevent me from essentially paying for the same three games twice...
Would I have any problems buying it through Origin instead of the EA app? I can't find any sign of it going on sale at EA on IsThereAnyDeal, and the typical price for it is $60. I paid $12 and change through Epic. Origin's had it on sale for $15, which isn't so bad...
It is strange that MELE has a different price on Origin than on EA app. Both are official EA and should have the same price.
Is the region set correctly in both apps?
For your other question, it should not make any difference that it was already installed over Steam Epic.
Buying it again might be impossible. I tried locating it through Origin's store and it says it's already in my library, even though I first bought it through Epic. I'm trying to download it through Origin just to see if there's any difference this time. I think I first tried installing it through EA. We'll see what happens in 9 hours...
Thanks for letting me know.
It seems there is a fundamental difference in how games that were brought on different platforms are handled now.
