I very much doubt that EA sells Ubisoft games.

Because EA wants you to use Origin.
My opinion: Their loss. I simply dont buy games on Origin. If they dont want my money, not my problem.

Ask EA as they choose not to be on steam

The first question should probably be asked on the Uplay forum.

As to why you can't buy (most) newer EA games on Steam, it's because of a spat that occurred a few years ago. A few months before Mass Effect 3 was released if i recall correctly.

One of the requisites for listing games on the Steam Store is that DLC must also be purchasable through the Steam Storefront. Valve would take a commission from those transactions too and EA really didn't like that. They wanted to cut Steam out of DLC purchases altogether. So, some negotiations occurred, neither party would budge, and EA ended up walking off in a huff and began heavily working on and promoting Origin.

I don't like ubisoft fourums
