I just realized I had gotten STAR WARS™ Battlefront™ II: Celebration Edition for free from Epic. 🤦♂️
The giveaway was from 2021-01-14 to 2021-01-21.
Checked my Origin account. Not listed. Because I've never attempted to install it.
So to be on the safe side, I installed the game today. Now it is in my Origin library. There was a hiccup, the install seemed to hang but I was able to close Origin and restart the install from the Epic Launcher. Probably unnecessary to fully install, I just needed to do the install to link my Origin and Epic accounts and get the game added to my Origin library.
It was the only Origin game that Epic has given away.
Unlike other stores, Epic and Steam are still selling Origin games. So it's not going to be a problem for them? 🤷♂️
It's probably not an issue, but I felt it was safer to activate it on my Origin account before the deadline.🤞

Thanks for the heads up on this. Full install was not necessary for me as once I click install on epic it went to origin login box even tho I had the Origin client open all ready it said I didn't have enough space to DL so, I canceled and it showed in my Origin Library.

Well, from what I understand this does not apply to EA games bought in a Humble Bundle or from Humble Choice. It applies only to games purchased in stores (fanatical, humble store, GMG, gamesplanet, gamersgate etc).

So better keep all those $1 origin bundles you bought 10 years ago. They might worth a fortune in the future, because those will be the only Origin keys available. Like steam keys from good games but delisted from Steam.
