I think EA is depreacating Origin in favour of Steam, or at least not making Origin the centre of their universe. That's why you can buy FIFA21 on Steam and games like Dragon Age and their EA Origin Pass subscription.
- Throwaway1771 6y agoWeird how we knew that'd happen as soon as they announced it. Layers of garbage to play simple stuff.
- nottorp 6y agoAre they? Do EA games bought on Steam not require an Origin account any more? They did last time I checked, but that was a while ago, lately I've just been ignoring EA titles.
- wjdp 6y agoYes and no, bought an EA game on Steam sale recently and starting it opens an Origin modal asking to update. AFAIK the options were 'update' 'auto update' and 'offline'. Offline did not work at all as you need to login in the next step. Spent a while considering whether to just return the game, eventually gave in, updated, and made an Origin account.
- nottorp 6y agoI've asked Steam support to remove a purchased game from my list once. Not refund, just remove it so I don't ever see it again. It was some ubisoft title that i bought, forgot 6 months about it, then started up and found out it requires UPlay. I have the same opinion about Origin.
