So what exactly is the point of TS4 on Steam?

So.Origin is horrible. At least for me. Everytime I start it up it gives me some windows error. It also lags my computer when starting up and prevents my computer from logging off. I owe pretty much all TS4 eps except for this starwars thing as I hate scifi.

So today I found out that Steam was having a TS4 sale. 5 Euro's for basegame. I figured: "Well in that case I can finally get rid of Origin and just use steam.". Imagine my surprise when I bought the Sims 4 on steam, installed it, and it telling me to download origin to play it. Eh what?

So what's the point of Steam selling it then? Obviously I already asked a refund. Isn't Origin basically just the same thing as Steam but for EA games? The Sims 3 on Steam works fine without Origin so..

That is an good point and Steam is not the only one, you can buy games on Epic like Assassin Creed Origins but you must have an Ubisoft acct. In my case I have no problems with Origins but I have problems with Epic's launcher and hate to use it but they have one thing that keeps me using them and that is the free games which are above average and modern and you need no premium subscription to play them.
