So Steam Direct backfired again, can't say some of us didn't tell you so.

Steam Search

Once they started requiring Origin for their games they weren’t able to release their games on Steam, though I don’t know why it would apply differently to their games compared to Ubisoft games which require Uplay.

No. EA voluntarily stopped using Steam and only sell their games on Origin and UPlay, this was their choice.
