no...

(Please note this only affects Humble Store purchases, and does not impact EA games purchased as part of a bundle or Humble Choice.)

It does not affect keys.

EA shuts down their keyless redemption system, which they used to sell singular games through third party stores since some time.
Only those will stop working.

So what does this mean for titles like Dead Space 1 and other items purchased through steam that use a key but verify via origin's service (like the old Dead Space 2 issue that cropped up a while ago eg.: https://steamcommunity.com/app/47780/discussions/0/3109142236156640742/ )?

Does anyone know?

I've added all games I bought on Steam to Origin by calling their support. Its easy once you can provide proof of purchase on your steam account. Fixed my Dead Space 2 and Crysis issue this way.

i'd have to add 25-30 of them, sounds like a big hassle. Is there any official wording about what happens with steam purchased games?

How did you do this? I tried to do this too but the chat box has no picture function, I couldn't send them picture. So they refused.

During the chat they will activate the upload function for you.
I spent about 2 hours once going in circles as they can be a brick wall sometimes. Just refuse to budge and request to speak with another rep if needed. Your previous chats are saved in your history so you can refer to those as well.
Its annoying when the Steam key you get says already activated in Origin and that's what I mainly call about.

Contacting them right now because Medal of Honor key not working as well. You can attach pictures before you start the chat.

Update: Got it added to my account. Asked about why we need to activate our keys and was told we will have an update soon.

Wow! This must suck for everyone whose unaware of this. Could this mean they'll start supplying Steam keys for EA Games via third party stores? If this is true I'm in....😏😏 hehe boi

I fear they'll do what Ubisoft did with Uplay account linking on platforms like Fanatical. Makes a lot of sense to kill 3rd party selling/trading game keys but would make gifting games harder.

I think Amazon Prime caused this. Their newer games were made available for as low as a few cents in some cases.

Yeah since now you can get the newest madden game for it. Granted the football season is over with and normally that game you can get it like on sale for under 30 now if buying console.

i feel like a much simpler solution would just need to link your Origin account yo your twitch account instead of revamping their entire system altogether.

"Since the last week, numerous digital stores, such as Humble Store, Gamesplanet, Green Man Gaming or Fanatical have delisted all of their Electronic Arts titles and DLCs from their storefronts."

THATS why they say to install on origin. what they are saying there is to avoid disapointment of buying from a digital store and having the key declined. ITS ONLY AFFECTING NUMEROUS DIGITAL STORES

"Luckily, this doesn't impact EA games purchased as part of a bundle or these featured in Humble Choice."

I WISH PEOPLE WOULD READ AND UNDERSTAND BEFORE PANICKING

and also to the OP ..........

NO, not All of EA Origin keys are going to expire next week.....

just ones bought through 3rd parties

There's going to be a large number of 3rd parties keys worth nothing and if they remain there they will upset a lot of clients who purchase them. G2A, Gamivo, Kinguin and many others are going to have a lot of unhappy clients.

The mass effect legendary key wouldn't be affected if you bought it through the bundle

Oh, that's what I thought. It's fine, I forgot about activating it and was no point if I owned it on Steam already. Made a friend happy. 😁

So do we need to do anything with ea games bought on steam?

Nope, just sit back and relax. You've got nothing to worry about! Steam games post 2011 use lite version of Origin for login. Might be upgraded to EA Play lite version in future but it's only a speculation for now.

if your county doesn't have amazon prime, make an account here:
https://www.primevideo.com/

Then here are the games:
https://gaming.amazon.com/home

There is a week trial where you can get the keys for free. After that, you need new credit card info or in my country around 2.39 EUR a month.
Personally, I'm a subscriber. Amazon video is like Netflix with a couple of good shows and monthly 2-3 non-steam games plus 5-6 indie titles and some stuff for my MMO is a good deal.

Thanks, that's interesting, I didn't know they gave game keys free with Prime. I only subscribe when they give me free trials, and I'm saving my trial for when the next season of The Boys is available. :D
