Free Medal of Honor on Origin :S??

GotlVlilk · 02-16-2012, 06:36 AM

So I just logged into Origin and somehow I have medal of honor on my account now . . . I purchased the game on steam when it was on special for 5$. I am just wondering where the hell this game came from ?? it just appeared in my account. Has this happened to anyone else?

Because your EA account is where the Product Key is registered to, even though you own it on STEAM, when you sign in to the Online portion of MOH it ties it to Origin.

EA accounts are persistent through all games Origin and STEAM alike.

Apparently it's because Origin scans your program files folder and detects the game. I have Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit and it added it to my Origin account.

i came here to post the same thing, freaking spyware origin. i wonder why that's the only EA game that it detected and made available "ready to download" on origin. Cause I also have Mass Effect 1 and 2, Battlefield 2, BFBC2, and Dead Space, all EA games I bought on Steam.
