Community ManagerYou only need to link your accounts the first time you play an EA game on Steam.
- Sign into Steam.
- Launch an EA game from Steam by clicking Play.
- Install Origin if you haven’t already.
- Origin will launch and ask you to link your Steam account and your EA Account.
- Log in to Origin using your EA Account info or create a new EA Account.
- Steam will install your game and let you know when it’s ready to play.

Indeed, we have purchased games on Origin and want to be able to play them through Steam.

They've already stated that you can not transfer games from Origin to Steam. (other forum posts have replies from EA reps)
A number of the Steam releases still require Origin anyway. (SWBF2 for example). Steam will show in the description of the item if the 3rd party DRM and Origin Client is needed.
Many games require the Origin client regardless of where you purchase, steam, origin, etc.
Hopefully they will fix this and allow license transfers or remove the Origin-only DRM.I'm still angry over being a pre-order collector's edition SWBF2 back at launch to watch them give everything for free, and now they want me to pay for it all over again, even on Origin "Anniversary Upgrade" etc...
Thanks for those exclusives back in the day, and thanks for continuing to make me not play it on purpose
