I just do not get why if you buy the game on Steam you can redeem the key on origin aswell but not with the inverse process.

If you buy a game on Origin, EA gets all the money and will provide all the bandwidth.

If you buy a game on Steam, the money is shared between Valve and EA who are both willing to provide the bandwidth.

so i have mass sffect 1 and 2 on steam and i would like to add them to origin, but it will not show me a key on steam how do i go about getting this so i can add them to my origin account?

In the Steam library > right click ME1 > View CD Key.

It's the same for ME2.

Hey @richard1878h,

This thread is quite a few years old so certain details may have changed since it was originally posted.

If you made a purchase on Steam and did not receive the game, you'll want to reach out to Steam support so they can look into this further.

Certain EA titles in Steam may require an Origin installation to run, though you'll still be launching the game through Steam.

Those can be identified by this notice in the product information on Steam.

In those cases you shouldn't need a CD key, but you will need to be sure you've linked your Steam and EA Accounts with these steps before continuing.

This thread is being locked to avoid necroposting, but if you're still running into trouble after the above steps feel free to start a new thread with a description of your situation, thanks!
