Steam vs Origin

[mobile_neil]

What are the reasons to buy this game through Steam as opposed to just from the Origin game store? Won't it launch through Origin anyway?

[Spooky804]

from my understanding it will not launch origin

*edit* looks like it will require an origin account to sign in in game but will not launch the origin client

[King Luie]

origin is garbage steam is way better in my opinion

[mobile_neil]

Ok, thanks.

Interesting if true, I was expecting the cross play to work through origin.

I buy it from steam, just to keep all my games in one place, even though its cheaper on Epic store for me :D

While I do agree that Steam is the better product, I pre-purchased through Origin because I'm under the impression you have to login through it even if it is purchased through Steam.

I can't confirm or deny this. Just reinforcing the comment made by Team Triss.

We won't call it Origin anymore.

Does not look like it.
If you compare the Battlefield V store page with the Squadrons one, you seem to need an EA account, but not the client for squadrons. Now this could be a mistake in the squadrons store page.

Apex Legends seem to work the same, EA Account, but no need for the EA Client on top of the steam Client. Which is imo a good deal. So I am 90% sure that no origin is needed for Squadrons. Time to buy again EA games. Took them long enough. ;-)

SteamVR support.

I'll be playing in VR ergo I want to make sure it's all configured correctly to work with my Index.

[Tyrthemis]

because I want it to work with steam VR seamlessly, and origins is garbage.

[Dr.Unfähig]

It won't require Origin, just an EA (Origin) account, that's what the shop site says.

Also it is not sure if the VR mode will work when you buy it on Origin. Only Steam VR has been confirmed to work as far as I know

Thank you all for your responses.

Steam = A car with wheels
Origin = A car with no wheels
