I hope people have noticed that already and you can buy any "modern" BF game starting from BF3 on steam now.
But I haven't found a proper answer to an important question: if own any BF game on origin, can you transfer all your progression and stuff when the same game is purchased on steam?
Can we have some sort of confirmation?

It's not like I'm rushing to buy games the second time but I'm sure there are some people who want that.

You buy them on steam, However when you launch the game(s) on steam, origin will briefly open for EA's services to sync up and to verify the game key.
In the case of bf3 and bf hardline, steam will briefly open origin for verification and then load battlelog.
Your progression is untouched as your unlocks and progression is stored on EA's servers.
The only real change here is the change of launcher.
So some sort of confirmation is necessary here.
I have all 3 and the mycrysis website doesnt exist anymore and mycrysis was tied to multiplayer on crisis 1 2 and 3.
With the bf titles everything progression related is stored on EA's servers rather than crytek
2. If you want it on Steam but have it on Origin, you can either buy it on Steam (and you will be prompted to sign into your Origin account when you first launch it) or add it to Steam as a "non-Steam game".
3. If you have it on Origin then buy it on Steam AND link your Steam to your Origin (required), you will be using the same database (stats) that you've already had.
4. You do not get access to the Steam version if you already have the Origin version.

Its possible but I doubt it will happen anytime soon.
Although dont get excited, vac is not good at dealing with hacks either. Sometimes it took them months to ban obvious hackers because so called "Delayed bans".

I can see there are quite a few questions coming in on how it works with EA games on Steam. I've created an FAQ with all information that's currently available:

If you have questions that are not yet answered in the FAQ, please let me know. We'll do our best to answer and add them.
