    Hello there @Avesteris ,

    The easiest way to link your Steam Account is by logging in on the EA Helps website and then signing in through Steam.

    Here's How:

    1. Navigate to the EA Help Website.

    2. Click log in at the top right of the page. (If you are already signed in, sign out and then click log in)

    3. When it pops up with the: enter your login credentials, click Steam at the very bottom. 

    4. Login with your Steam Credentials and then you are all set!

    Happy Gaming and Stay Safe!

@Avesteris 

So what is the issue you are having with Steam? Because if you don't own the Game on Steam you wouldn't be able to play it through that platform.

So what's the point of linking both accounts? I was hopping it can be detected in the steam so I can use the same features what steam gives when you own the game.

    And what features were you hoping to have access to by linking your Steam and EA Account if you don't mind me asking?

    @The_other_Rare
    I wanted to play EA game via Steam (for all that perks Steam is providing, like achievements, forums, game discussion/comments etc. etc.)
    I thought that when I link it with Steam, the games I own on the Origin becomes available on Steam too, shame....

    So.... actually what is the point of linking that both services anyways?

    @The_other_Rare I do not know about the other users, I personally was encountering an issue with Origin Launcher and wanted an easy fix of being able to pick up and play on Steam. To me I thought this would enable me to play my game, that I paid for, where ever I wanted just like I did when all this was on physical CDs. I was pretty pumped. Now I'm left with that question of 'Why did I bother? What is whole point?'.

    If you own an Origin game through Steam you need to link the accounts to play it, or to login through steam
