Electronic Arts Hasn't Hacked your Steam Account... Honest

Stop being all up in EA's face about it hacking your computer to find what games you've been downloading from Steam... and then displaying them in its own Origin service. It hasn't.

Well, it hasn't been accessing any data on your PC. It has been finding out via its own systems what games have been downloaded from its competitors.

It has commented, "A few of you noticed some of your older EA games showing up in your Origin My Games library over the past few weeks and I wanted to clear up any confusion.

"We tested a feature that in some cases made your older games show up in your Origin My Games Library. At no time was any information on your computer accessed, all of this information was obtained directly from our game registration records. Hopefully we didn't cause too much confusion for anyone. We'll be sure to come back and share more information about this feature as soon as we can."

Bear in mind the currently EA makes games sold post 2009 immediately available via Origin but you have to use its Activate tool to access older titles.
