Reached out to EA to see if I could get my key transferred over. The answer was no, of course. But it’s still annoying that I get less for having bought sooner on their platform rather than waiting for it to be available on Steam.

Here is to hoping the other way games follow
Nice seeing a game not needing a third-party launcher, but instead just works with the Steam launcher.
Isn't Steam itself a third party launcher?
Yes, origin is the first party launcher
It most transactions, the 2 parties are the purchaser and the seller.
If you buy a game from Steam, using the steam launcher isn't a third-party launcher.
If you bought a game directly from EA, their launch isn't a third-party launcher.
If you bought the game from Steam, the EA launcher is third-party.
The company that created/published the game is the first party.
The steam launcher is still the third party launcher
If you buy an xbox game from gamestop, you expect to use the xbox launcher not the gamestop launcher
But what is the first and second party then? It's all subject to the definition.
Cool! It Takes Two is a great game; hopefully this lets more people enjoy it!
My wife and I played it. We bonded over how much we disliked Book lol
