What happens to my Dead Space 3 copy if I re-buy the game on Steam?

[NightcoreBone]

I currently have Dead Space 3 already bought with all of the DLCs on my Origin account with 100% completion of the game and with all achievements except for the last 1 which is bugged.

So I'm just wondering if I keep all of my progress, save files, achievements and DLCs and if they get transferred over to my Steam account if I decide to buy it on there? Or am I going to have to start over and redo all of the achievements and re-buy all the DLCs on Steam to be able to access all the content through my Steam account?

Hi @NightcoreBone,

Progress won't transfer over to Steam from Origin for Dead Space 3, you won't need to repurchase any DLC on Steam if you already own it.

Sorry for the necro @EA_Cade  but this is incorrect regarding the progress. I have Dead Space 3 on Origin and just bought it on Steam and all progress and achievements transferred. Now the strange part is Origin launches steam to install DS3 even when I try to install it via Origin instead of Steam on another computer that I never installed the steam copy on. Is there any workaround to get my Origin copy to install without Steam?
