    Hi Darko!

    I really needed to format my PC, so I simply proceeded. But before, I had to use the Way Back Machine website to see what those broken pages showed in 2011, near the games release. The pages showed that those games have the tool included.

    My installations doesn't have the tool, so I concluded that the Steam version of these games doesn't need deathorization. I read that probably the Steam versions does the process automatically using the Steam DRM.

    I finally reinstalled the games today, and are working fine.

As far as I understand it @JSilverWolf the tool should work.


Can I ask what games in question are you having issues with and have you tried redeeming the product keys to Origin?

    Good to hear @JSilverWolf. Had you said that you had the games through Steam then I could have let you know that you didn't need to use the tool as it only applies to disc-based games.

    Enjoy your games.
