I already own this game on Origin. How do i link it to Steam?

[lucky_slevin]

Like the title states: I already own this game since 2012, and many others like Mass Effect, Mirrors Edge or C&C, on Origin.

How do I link it to Steam?

I don't get you people.

If you buy a game on GOG, you can't link it to Steam or the other way around. Does this mean GOG is bad?

Steam, GOG, Uplay, EGS, Bethesda launcher, Battle net - you name it, NO storefront allows linking games from another storefront. It makes 0 sense.

I bought homeworld remastered collection on steam and GOG gift me the game. Uplay, Bethesda, Battlenet, etc sucks.

That is a great exception, but it's not the rule.

You need Origin to play EA games relesed in Steam. Its a fraud

Yeah, i think you still use the battlelog. It's like adding non steam game BF3 to steam but paying 9€ xD

[lucky_slevin]

Lol wut? If EA and Valve really think I'm going to pay additional money to enjoy games, i already own on origin, on steam, they can ♥♥♥♥ right off!

actually, SOME you can - are you aware of GOG Connect?

EA does recognize your purchase through steam as it's using the origin portal to launch the game. When you first open it, it will connect your steam account to your EA profile.

I owned some of the DLC's prior to this purchase and I now own all of them, exactly as it should be for BF3 Premium

but when you buy the game on steam, it gets linked to the others? never bought a game from EA or Ubisoft before on steam?

interesting thanks, tell me do you have 2 copies of the game now (like you do with Uplay) or has the STEAM version 'replaced' the Origin version?
