Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order Receives a Steam Page
- Thread starter TradedHats
- Start date
The way the article describes EA working on crossplay between Steam and Origin implies that the Steam versions won't use Origin at all, right?
Some of their ish is region locked for me, but if Sims Medival shows up on steam, I'ma grab it XP

Fallen Order page says it'll be using 3rd party DRM, so not sure.
Seems doubtful and just conjecture. You need Origin just for Fallen Order according to the store page and that's a single player game
BFV is coming along with Apex Legends, Sims 4 and Fifa 20
It's in the article from Verge
Yes. If they have seen Bethesda, Ubisoft, and Rockstar doing the same thing, you don't think EA would too.
It does suck EA won't use Steamworks but at least other stuff is coming to Steam like EA Access. Also crossplay between Steam and Origin users. Ehh I guess it's something.
Still could. Assassin's Creed Odyssey requires Uplay but still has Steam Achievements.

So no transferring of games from Origin to Steam like EA allowed when transferring from Steam to Origin. Also, how much, if at all, do we think this will impact Fallen Order's initial PC sales?
I'm really happy more and more companies (such as EA and Microsoft) are making their own launchers be appealing through value by addition, rather than by subtraction.
"Despite the fact that Steam and Origin are PC launchers that run on the same platform, EA is effectively treating the two storefronts as totally separate platforms. For example, if you've purchased EA games in the last eight years on Origin, there won't be any way to transfer those purchases to Steam ā even if they're rereleased there. "
Boooooooooo, let me benefit from Steam client stuff that you don't bother to copy to your own client EA.
Yes I wanna show off my Mirror's Edge Screenshots on Steam/EA Activity ya silly ducks.

They can still do those, ubi games on Steam has some of Steamworks features.

I hope there's a way that you can add your existing Origin library to Steam.
LOL, and that's after Epic was trying so hard to keep AAA publishers away from Steam lol. That's great news, though right now Fallen Order doesn't have regional price on Steam as well, so I still won't buy it on launch. But maybe being on Steam and having actual forums for communication will pressure EA to finally fix regional prices for their games.
