Origin and Steam
Is it worth buying if I have a game in Origin, but I want it to be on Steam as well

When you launch the game, it'll boot up Origin in the background and finally start the game up from there.

If you already own it, you can instead just add the Origin version as a non-Steam game on Steam. It's effectively the same thing.

If you have Battlefront II on Origin, there's absolutely no point to get it on Steam. It still launches through Origin.

For me not is same thing. Not couting hours and the screenshot not is same save like the own game(can sceen shoot too i know) and not in library. Also the origin need launch it manually because not is linked and no cards dropped. Is less comfortable.

For all the things you omitted, are the reasons why Steam users WANT the Steam version.

1. Screenshots (community feel with friends)
2. Cards and badges
3. Simply have it in Steam library

While this doesn't appeal to everyone, it does so for some Steam users. Especially those that do not own the game at all.
