Just got off with Origin help. Basically told me to link my steam to origin by playing apex legends... so downloading that 36GB game now...
flash back to the sailor moon meme: "my work here is done" - "but you didn't do anything"
@MeiOokamiSo... Did it work?
@PS4SuperiorityWithout EA, probably Maxis would never have made Spore.
But to stick with EA all these years... Is masochism.

And I'd also like to ask you guys the odds of me being from another country (not US, any European country, AUS or Canada) trying to get the CD-Key, cause imagine an EA support that doesn't have the PERMISSION to solve stuff. That's my country's.

Oh, absolutely not.
They only wanted the accounts linked so when I got into another support chat they could verify the purchase with screen shots of my steam purchase history and give me the game on Origin. The tech also didn't know that the steam login and screen name can and should be different, so spent most of the time explaining that. At least the DLC still comes with keys you can claim on Origin as well.
TLDR: Steam version online features are still not working, but I now have it on Origin as well after a couple hours of tech support.- 4 years ago@MeiOokami Welp, I guess it's downloading Origin's version then...

Hello all.
I brought Spore and Creepy and Cute, as well as Galactic Adventures on Steam previously, but I created a new Spore account using a new EA account with a new email.
When I created the account, it shows me this page:
I can understand that that account does not own a game of Spore, but there isn't a link to the Steam version, so am I supposed to re-purchase the game on Origin? I have a physical copy of the game as well, so if I were to buy the Origin version, am I supposed to transfer the product key from the physical version to the Origin version?
I just want to make a new Spore account and start fresh and new again.
Thanks.
- 4 years ago@Cookieman92 If you right click the game in steam there should be an option to view product keys for the DLC (might be in properties). You can use these to add them to your origin account here: https://www.origin.com/can/en-us/game-library
For the base game you will need to contact tech support to transfer the purchase to origin after linking your steam and origin accounts and proving you bought it with screen shots. Only way to link them that worked for me was to download apex legends (free but takes forever to download) on steam and sign in there.
Or
You can get support to use the key from the physical copy to add it to your account if it is too old to work on the origin site like the DLC keys.- 4 years ago
I got support to add Spore to my Origin account after sending them my Steam receipt, but when I try to register my account I get "An unknown error occurred during registration. Please try again." Support hasn't been able to help me figure out that part and I'm running out of ideas. Has anyone else figured out how to get past the unknown error?

I’ve been trying to play spore and gain access to the online features for a week. The EA advisors are no help, the steps they’ve sent through email doesn’t work either. I feel I’ve tried everything, but nothing seems to work. If anyone was able to play online, could you point me in the right direction!! Thank you!!!
- 4 years agoUpdate: I’ve reached out to EA about issuing me a new CD code for Spore base game and he told me they’re not able to do that. Then proceeds to hang up in my face and emails me those steps that I’ve tried countless times. I believe there is no way to truly register your account in Spore at this moment.
