@smugglyosa You can get rid of the game when you demand a Refund, yet it also does not help since it stays in the library somehow

I have tried all the solutions offered out in this thread. And nothing works. After speaking to someone from EA they have said its a problem they know about and are currently working with Steam to resolve.
So let the waiting game begin

People should understard that this is not something that can be fixed by uninstalling that, reinstalling this, etc. We need to wait for EA and/or Steam to resolve this.

@Leebo1705 @grynn NOOOOOO THAT'S NOT THE ONLY PROBLEM
The problem lies not only between Steam and EA, Epic Games Launcher is the one that somehow destroys the other game files. It's obviously an Epic problem.
@decimal4000 There is no solution for now

@Stan_Java That might be so but this thread was mainly to outline the problem with you now needing an activation key to run the steam version because Epic has brute forced and taken over the original game files. So yes whilst it is an Epic problem that they shouldn't be able to just take games, its also EA who need to somehow get people an activation code so they can relink their Steam versions. Hopefully this gets fixed for everyone 🙂
