Unlinking EA/Origin and Steam

[davidjberes]

Like a lot of us, I use a variety of game platforms--XBox Game Pass being one of them. I've found some EA Games/Origin games there that I'd like to play, but they require your GP account to be linked to your EA account. Fair enough, but it's already linked to my Steam account and only one linkage is allowed at a time. When I go to the EA portal to unlink my Steam account, I get a full-screen, rather lawyerly window indicating that if I proceed, I'll lose all access to my EA games on Steam (and saves/achievements/etc.).

So, before I potentially throw a lot of money down the drain, does anyone know if this results in a permanent loss or can I link/unlink with wild abandon on a daily--or even hourly--basis? Perhaps this is a question better asked of EA?

I've got both my xbox account using Game Pass Ultimate for EA Play, and steam linked to my EA account without problems.

Are you trying to get both xbox ultimate EA play and the EA play on steam at the same time?

Thanks, Satoru. The difference may be in XBox Live and XBox Game Pass Ultimate. It's possilbe that there are multiple complications:

- I had a previous EA Play subscription (not through Steam)
- I have purchased EA games through Steam (prior to the EA/Steam marriage) that are being offered via the EA portal on GPUlt
- I never did the Origin-->EA account merge/transfer
- I have multiple XBox/Microsoft accounts
-I have EA games on my console that don't show on my EA PC account

I think EA would rather everyone just use EA Play and only uses Microsoft and Steam for advertising/leads. It's a shame that Steam doesn't yet have enough influence to tell publishers to take their third-party app nonsense and DRM skulduggery and cram it.

As soon as I can find the backdoor, live person access to EA, I'll see what they have to say.

Thanks again.

I sort of forget how I did the EA to GPU link as it was delayed for a bit and I can't recall if I did it through my xbox series X or through EA Desktop. I thought for GPU you had to make the link through EA Desktop but its been awhile since I did the linking.

So I'm confused why its making you unlink steam since realistically you can have mutiple links I think

Have you tried downloading the EA Desktop (Not Origin) and see if you can manage your EA Play membership that way?

In my cases i have maked two email for wrong but i explain.

I bought bad company 2 so many years ago, maybe around 10 or more, and put my first email on it but not is linked is a registered on game(without ea or origin but, after a years, automatically is on another account origin but work on my steam too).

In new games i not remember already registered, because not is with origin-ea but in game registration, and make another email account with steam linked this time.

My question is: what happen if all the games come with new ea account but my old bad company 2 is registered with old account, but still work, with new app? Because i have two email in one steam account on origin. But bad company i need login manually in that case.


Sorry for my bad english.
