AFAIK, the steam versions also run trough Origin. I no this for a fact with Uplay, I think it's the same here.

- drdaeman 13y agoJudging from Steam forums it seems that they are mostly Origin-free and do not chain DRM schemes like it was the case with U-play.
- yareally 13y agoSome may require "EA activation" which pops up at the first run of the game, but they don't require origin if they have a Steam key.
- drdaeman 13y agoAnyone knows which games do this, and which don't?
- tomku 13y agoThis is absolutely incorrect. Valve puts up with Uplay because they aren't a competing marketplace, but when EA wanted to make their new games sold on Steam require Origin installation as well, Valve told them to go fly a kite. That's why games like Battlefield 3 are not available on Steam at all.
- teamonkey 13y agoI think it's more that EA don't want platform-selling titles like BF3 on Steam, not that Steam told them to get lost.
