Most games from EA can be activated on Origin provided you get a CD key on Steam (for some of them you have to dig through the registry). Some won't work but if you get a helpful support rep they will add it for you, others won't. It's pretty much hit and miss, but if you try again another time and get a different support rep he might add it for you. That's pretty much the only use I have for Origin, as the only games I have there are the ones I got for free and the keys from Steam that I registered there also. Kind of a backup of my games on a different service that will probably never be used.

Contacted Origin Support. They said I'd have to contact Steam Support for that ;p

Oh I tried to get Need for Speed Shift activated on Origin as I have it on Steam. When I tried the key origin said it was all ready in use. When I talked too an EA "Advisor" he told me its a Steam product we have nothing to do with it and will not activate it on origin. Nice guy huh?!

I remember a friend asked me to give him my key for Crysis 2 and it worked on Origin even dou I brought it on STEAM.
I have also brought Dragon Age Box which activated on Steam but I was able to activate it on Origin as well.
I was wondering would Spore that I got on Origin would work on Steam?
Anyone tried this, and do you know of other games ?
