Just adding my 2 cents - would be cool to have this feature!

I very much would like to transfer all available titles from Origin to Steam.

 

The Origin launcher is rubbish and a relic of a bygone era where EA wanted to force consumers to pay for shody products and pointless DLC to keep the share-holders happy.  Yes, I see the irony with me saying that, however, I would like to play my beloved Mass Effect series (minus Andromeda because, well, it's not really ME) and I hate the Origin launcher.

 

Maybe a Class Action to obtain the rights of your purchase to allow transfer to the platform of your choosing, if EA doesn't want to entertain the idea.

Guys no offense but wtf are you thinking? This is EA Games, they don't give a damn about you or your wishes, they want your money! All of it!

Well they'd get more of my money if I could see these games in steam because I'd be more likely to buy DLC.  Also, they have terrible controller support, why not let us have them accessible via steam so we can use the already good steam controller support and they no longer have to worry about that.

How about Origin crashes my game while I'm playing it? Or when I got Dragon Age: Inquisition GOTY the DLC wouldn't show up as being owned in Origin, the support people ended up having to give me a different product key.

One thought passed through my head while thinking about this issue.

 

Back in 2012, EA released BF 1942 for free due to its 10th birthday. I'm one of the lucky ones that got it. I wonder if with the transfer, they will transfer sunset games such as the BF 1942 (and so many others).

 

Hopefully they will but...

this would be pretty cool but EA is literally the most garbage company and they don't seem interested in improving their reputation.  the only time they would do something the customers like is to improve sales

While I would love to transfer my games from other places (Origin or elsewhere) to steam, the only company I've seen do this was Bethesda with fallout 76 and Valve with Portal 2. It would be more surprising if they actually did give the steam copy to all Origin owners than to have it as it is now.
