Games on Steam / Origin

[Creedi]

Some EA games are available on Steam, for example Battlefield: Bad Company 2.
When I bought it I realized it had a CD key and tried to add it on Origin because I was curious, and now I own the game on Origin and Steam.

That annoys me, because now I own the game twice, and it's it's not like Rainbow Six Siege where everything is synchronized on Uplay, I have 0 play hours of BC2 on Origin. But the 2 DLC's I bought are activated. That makes me wonder: if I permanently remove the game on Steam, I will be able to play it on Origin with the DLC's, right?

And I have another question: newer games like Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order which are on Steam require Origin. That means that the play count for example is synchronized, am I right?

And I know you can hide games on Steam and Origin, but it still annoys me, respect that please!

This some kind of OCD problem, or what?

Anyways if you don't want to own things twice for free, just don't buy EA, and Uplay, or etc that comes with extra client DRM games on Steam, just buy the games from their client instead.

What is the difference for you when r6s appears in steam and uplay.
But you can not stand bc2 appearing in steam and origin?

Steam launches R6 through Uplay.
BC2 is like a different game on Origin.

It just kind of bothers me.
And yes, that's what I'm gonna do!

You also most of UPlay games can just play it from Uplay instead, as you get free copy from Steam to Uplay.

The difference is that Origin doesn't keep track on some of these games when you play from Steam, or etc, instead of Origin.

A lot of questions on here are problems being caused by the user themselves and are not bugs, glitches, poor design etc.

How do I change the UI to make it exactly the way I want it to an unachieveable specification, how do I disable a key process or feature I don't for some reason want but will stop things working, how do I generally change something that no one else has actually noticed or wants?

The majority of people won't ever think of the 'problem' and when presented with them have the usual response of - get on with your life it really doesn't matter.

Which in most cases it doesn't.
