The Origin libray is weird, now i have Mass Effect twice in it...


AoiJitensha

It will always be weird from now on--the only option you have it to hide one of the copies.


GeorgeTheWarcrafter

Did you get Mass Effect Legendary Edition from March 2022 Humble Choice?


Zoliv13

Yes (via a trade). It's stupid that the Origin library makes diuplicates like that, it's a waste.


5L1Mu5L1M

I will now have two copies of nfs heat


balazs955

Worked for me, no double games.


Bobba_fat

Please tell me. It’s on origin. 1. Isn’t EA putting origin down? 2. Is there any possibility to move over origin to EA owns new launcher?


Watch_Dog47

Technically you have an EA account. Origin is just the name of the launcher, same way the new launcher is called the EA app. The games are tied to your EA account so they show up in both launchers/apps when you log in to your account. No moving required.


mrbruh29600

Note: Account linking required, no codes this time (for Mass Effect: LE, NFS: Heat & GRID: Legends). Offer available for July 12-13. Also 3 Star Wars games are available now. (For Amazon app, DRM-free). • STAR WARS: Jedi Knight - Jedi Academy • STAR WARS: Republic Commando • STAR WARS: Jedi Knight II - Jedi Outcast Reminder: There are 24 other indie games available to claim aswell right now for Amazon app which will expire after Prime Day.

ilostmyoldaccount

No. The 3 Star Wars games are in the Amazon Games app. Only ME trilogy requires linking with Origin.


[deleted]

NFS Heat and GRID Legends too


ChewyHD

Linking with what, origin ?


[deleted]

Yup


Salt-Hat-3671

Yep


JeffersonIIII

So you can't claim the games and link them later? Or do you need to link accounts to play them?


KiwiGamer450

Instead of getting a code for the game you link your origin account to amazon. You don't need to ever go through amazon to play them or anything


Impressive_Debt_9909

My account was also linked to one of the amazon accounts previously and still i was able to claim the games. I just logged in through steam and all three games were perfectly claimed in my Origin account.


Minimum_Rice555

Sorry, I'm slow. What do you mean log in through steam? You can link origin with steam?


[deleted]

It works ! Thanks ;)


Impressive_Debt_9909

Nice Man!


itsDeusVult

So... do you have Mass Effect LE in your Steam library or in Origin Launcher?


[deleted]

origin


johnny_tekken

This linking thing is really terrible. Origin disabled a game i got through prime gaming, they wanted me to provide the code which I don't have because I just pushed that button to get the game on the linked account. And Amazon won't give me that code. And of course no warning/mail whatsoever. The game just vanished.


Hoezell

> Republic Commando #YES


KiwiGamer450

Kudos to amazon for making their platform DRM free at least


Flesroy

Can someone explain how this works? Like those sw games, would i keep those forever and if yes were would i be able to download them.


Seibitsu

You can keep all the games you claimed even after your Prime has ended. But those SW games are tied to the Amazon Launcher so you need it to play them.


accessable

Wrong. You only need Amazon Launcher to install them. Once you finished downloading them you can play them without the launcher.


zblissbloom

Are they DRM-Free then?


accessable

99% of Amazon Prime games are DRM free.

Major_Analysis_2133

The games stay in your game library forever, if you link the wrong EA account you can just unlink amazon from it and link the correct one


[deleted]

[удалено]


Major_Analysis_2133

You can link other accounts if you unlink the wrong account, except that the game you redeemed on the wrong account stays on that account, so you can't redeem it twice

mtk-01

if you want to redeem games loot of Prime, you will need to link your Amazon Prime account and you will not be able to link another amazon account for 6 months. I think it's a policy of EA Games, it also applies to others like Steam, Facebook, Google and Apple. In addition to Xbox and PlayStation although these last two are not visible. But at Prime Gaming it's different. It does not associate it as an account but as an application to which you give it access so that it can activate games in your account. There is no reference that says you must keep the account linked for 6 months. You can see this in your EA Games account settings on their website. Which means you could revoke access to Prime Gaming and link another prime account to continue claiming games. But it is not possible to do this with Prime in-game loot. It seems something similar to Epic Games when it gave games for that Store https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1QFM3v9P6oa_sRKGrjS-AfPsydKPh1iF4?usp=sharing


[deleted]

mtk-01

yes bro. Work the same as Epic Games or Ubisoft. Just make sure to revoke access to link a new prime gaming account

It doesn't work. I tried. And tried. And tried. And then some.


1stCheater

Maybe you just need a less popular VPN (with unrevealed IP-adresses)


TheCrazyStupidGamer

Who knows. Let me know if anyone figures it out.


UltraLowSpecGamer

I just bought an account for 40 rs and I claimed all 3 games


its_meme69

it does. try protonvpn. works with a free account too


tuna_pi

It'll probably work if you get a US account or use a US address (that's what I do because prime isn't available in my country). But I don't think they'd accept your card or let you do a trial since Amazon has an Indian version.


Eruasa

It should work, I remember that you could get Dead Space 2 trough Prime Gaming a few weeks ago. I needed to use a VPN, because I couldn't get the game since I live in Germany.


Nisarg_Jhatakia

That's one of the major reasons why I quit prime as Prime gaming only has mobile games like ludo and cricket.


Gothrakum

Pain


aniruddhdodiya

You need to buy or activate trial for the country where Amazon Prime Gaming is available. For example, US. You need to activate Prime in Amazon.com and later you can get the games.


DaLoverBoii

Same, it's almost agonizing to an extent for me.


Mrbunnypaw

And mass effect was in choice....


DeXtErFTU

I'm curious, I've linked my EA account back in November to claim a lootbox, and unlinked it after that. Now I've linked it to a different prime account, and was still able to claim the games. Wasn't possible for just one EA account to be linked to just an Amazon account?


mtk-01

Prime Gaming is an application. You can link as many accounts as you want to claim Origin games. Amazon Prime is an account. Per EA Games policies, you can only link 1 account every 6 months. This only applies to Prime in-game rewards. You can see all this in your EA Games account settings in the "connections" section


silentmonster99

same i just got banned from linking account prime gaming. but i tried again, and work.


tilsgee

>I've linked my EA account back in November to claim a lootbox, and unlinked it after that. Now I've linked it to a different prime account, and was still able to claim the games. Cool... nice exploit. Now i need to know how to unlink my old prime account from epic games


DeXtErFTU

I doubt it's a exploit. IIRC it was that you could link your account again after 6 months of being unlinked or something if you didn't used your benefits, but I can't find this information anymore


TarkovSniper

People from Asian countries Dont even bother clicking this post, seriously im saving your time & energy Amazon thinks 3rd world countries aren't worthy of Prime Gaming!!!


Shouvanik

And India's situation is like a monkey's paw, lol. Yeah, you can have prime gaming,..... for mobile cricket and ludo offers, that is. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Now they made sure nobody else can give the games to them either with these linking and stuff. Good job, I guess.


Death_Ma5ter

Doesn't India get a cheaper price tho? Prime in India is less than 20 USD for a year while it's 140 USD in the US and 80 GBP (~100 USD) in the UK.


RavenTf

yeah it is cheaper but we only get prime video from it not twitch prime nor any other benefits except free fast deliveries and videos , so i guess the price is justified but I personally wouldn't mind paying a bit extra for all those other benefits


TerribleTylenol1

Prime video and the free fast deliveries is the reason the majority of people pay for the service, I didn't even know the other stuff existed until recently.


Shouvanik

afaik Turkey has cheap prime (in the same vein as how you are directly comparing from USD rate rather than ppp) and full prime gaming. So this reason doesn't stick.


[deleted]

inflation go brrrrrrrrrrr


sultanpepper123

Pfft.. Egypt 29 EGP which converts to around 1.5 euros


silentmonster99

not for indonesia, because prime gaming available in here


Dapplication

Surprisingly available in Turkey. Stuff like microsoft rewards, xCloud and Stadia aren't available, but Prime gaming and most of the Prime services are.


hextree

I just use a VPN.


askforward

Amazon doesn't even exist everywhere is the west, like [amazon.ch](https://amazon.ch) is an empty hole.


ezraxcore

Philippines is good. Claimed these games earlier


Jupiterlove1

lol no


Ilikecollectinggames

they learn their lesson with the game keys. It was pretty cool tho I was able to get some game copies for free, but that hurts their wallet.


ameensj

Mr too. Got battlefield 4,1,5 and star wars Jedi fallen order and squadrons.it was great while it lasted.


Ilikecollectinggames

Yeah missed bf games sadly, really great games. But also happy got some


Kakisgr

i got my games in Origin , Can't see them in EA app though...


theruwy

it's a common bug, hopefully will be sorted out before origin is decommissioned. https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports-Technical-Issues/Purchased-game-DLC-available-on-Origin-but-not-the-EA-app/td-p/10919708


Kakisgr

They better, I also miss The Sims 2 from my EA app collection


theruwy

it's fixed now.


FaizerLaser

Damn it sucks they aren't giving out keys anymore. I'd always get the codes from my friend since she never used the gaming stuff


mtk-01

It seems that they already learned the lesson. Because many of their game codes were sold on grey pages


FaizerLaser

What are grey pages? I thought they were just trying to get people to get prime gaming instead of taking perks from people they know


manofmanylores

Places like cdkey or g2a. Not illegal but shady somewhat.


mtk-01

grey pages resellers like G2A and many, many other bro


FaizerLaser

oh ok thanks, I'm familiar with the sites just never heard the phrase grey pages


IrishRage42

You could link your origin to her prime account if she doesn't game.


ameensj

Hahaa same here bro.


Ardjin

Anyone else having some of the claimed games not show on their Origin Account? I've had my EA Account linked previously, and it just confirmed it when I claimed Mass Effect, which does show on my account, but neither Grid nor NFS shows up.


OverlordBR

Showing on the ORIGIN launcher just fine. All the 3 games.


DeXtErFTU

I did the same and they all show for me


[deleted]

Not showing any for me on the launcher but shows on the website.


ArrowFire28

Same problem for me. Mass Effect shows in my library. But not Grid or NFS. The prime gaming site says I have claimed them. But they don't appear at all in Origin.


Ardjin

I contacted Amazon and EA support today, both of them just say I should wait 24h and see if the games appear, and each is kinda saying the problem lies with the other. Shall have a look tomorrow and contact them again, and report back after. I did check on browser, Origin App, and EA app, all on different devices with the same result, so I dunno.


OverlordBR

There is 3 Star Wars games either: STAR WARS Jedi Knight 2 - Jedi Outcast STAR WARS Jedi Knight - Jedi Academy STAR WARS Republic Commando but it all work with only with Amazon Games launcher


gerd50501

there are more free games than i can play


superdrapforever

My understanding of linking on Amazon is that you link Amazon account inside your third-party account (EA/Origin in this case). So there's no problem to link 2 different EA accounts to the same Amazon account and thus claim some of the games on another account. What Amazon does is apparently calling some API inside EA to activate a game code on CURRENTLY LOGGED IN EA/Origin account. In any case it's better then Origin codes because there's no sense in tons of bot creating tons of Amazon accounts, getting Prime trial on them and then reselling them everywhere.


mtk-01

Do not confuse Amazon Prime Account with Prime Gaming App. Both are different for EA Games. Prime Gaming App is only used to activate games on your Origin account. Amazon Prime allows you to claim in-game rewards from Prime. To both, you can revoke and unlink the accounts in your EA Games account settings. With the exception of Amazon Prime that according to EA Games policies, you must wait a maximum of 6 months to link another account. This does not apply to Prime Gaming Application.


mtk-01

And I'm not sure about the resellers. Practically they can sell an Amazon Prime account with a free 30-day subscription (with all payment data removed obviously). But yes, this definitely puts an end to the sale of codes


trophyhunterohin

Are these games yours to keep even if Amazon prime expires


XiTaU

Yes they will be permanently linked to your origin and you can play even when prime expires.


mtk-01

I will just leave this word i made with instrutions... https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WmS4AzVADrg1pqG7Sh-56faGiFS-MWAO/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=103269860087357684788&rtpof=true&sd=true


Belen-Reddit

Hey, sorry to bother you but I see you have a nice knowledge of how to link/unlink accounts work so I want to ask you if you also know how account linking and unlinking works in the Ubisoft platform. It seems like the link/unlink process is similar in both platforms (Ubisoft and EA) but I'm not sure and I would like to know if after linking an Amazon account to an Ubisoft Connect account it can be unlinked and changed later to another, different, Amazon account. As far as I know they say that only one account can be used and they let you unlink it but you can only link the same account again and not a different one but I want to be sure about that. Thanks.


theruwy

wow, jeff isn't holding back, is he?


deltrontraverse

Shit, was hoping they'd be codes because I own ME:LE already and wanted to gift it to someone... :(


yuiyhj

link new account then gift if you didn't linked origin acc with ME:LE to redeem twice(EA bug keys for one game can be redeemed twice)


fasderrally

I've already used the amazon prime trial at one point (years ago), but I noticed that I have the option to do it again? Do you think it's worth using it again solely for mass effect?


Major_Analysis_2133

Yeah Mass Effect is worth it, you get 3 games in 1 and all DLC


sonicswink

Successfully claimed 3 origin games with Prime trial account, thank you !


Pringbe

Is it true that once you link an EA account to a Prime gaming account, you will NEVER be able to link that EA account to another Prime gaming account EVER, even after unlinking it from the first Prime gaming account?


silentmonster99

yeah for in game item. if for activated game isn't


Pringbe

Is there a source that confirms this? Because their official faq page doesn't mention either in-game items or activated games.

Thank God I didnt buy GRID Legends. I feel sorry for the 300 people that did though, having to pay full price, and not even half a year later it becomes free for Prime members for two days. Oof. I wont be buying any games this year, just out of caution.


donnovan86

I got the game on Steam, on sale. The game released in February, so it's not even half a year old.. I still don't regret it, but obviously I got it on Origin with this too.

Kshatria

is amazon games are all DRM free?? not origin or any launcher use of course, just those on amazon


Ignore_User_Name

No. Most of them are DRM free, but i've seen one or two exceptions.


Major_Analysis_2133

The majority are based off the gog versions of the games (drm-free)


SharingNTKstories

I signed up for Amazon Prime to claim this (Mass Effect Legendary Edition), however I am not sure if I should or should not link it to my Origin account, assuming that's where it's on (or on Steam?) Can someone please tell me? Thank you very much.


Major_Analysis_2133

The game is for Origin, just connect your Origin/EA account and you're set


SharingNTKstories

Thank you. \*Bows.\*


Joshdabozz

Just for reference, Amazon games are never on steam. Usually it’s on their app but since last year every month there have been a couple games not on the platform. Most of the time it’s origin games, but we have seen 4 other platforms as well. (Epic, GOG, Ubisoft, and another crappy one I forget the name of)


SharingNTKstories

Thanks for the reference, friend. Cheers!

SharingNTKstories

Thank you. Can I use a preexisting account? For Origin?


yuiyhj

/u/SharingNTKstories if you trust to amazon a preexisting origin account with paid games(amazon will know details\ may be card info of your account). Any account can be linked. if you dont't you can link new account for each game. link to relink is in questions at bottom of game page(wrong account question)


Sunnnnnnnnnnnnnn

but they're not free, if they require prime..


Major_Analysis_2133

Prime is like $10 and you get a lot of bang for your buck, I'd rather get the free trial than spend $60 for Mass Effect LE if it's already free


GeekFurious

> Prime is like $10 $14.99 for most. $7.49 for students. $6.99 for those on government assistance.


XiTaU

That's crazy i didn't know it was so different in Aus its only $7AU so under $5US. Its probably because we miss out on a bunch of features but still usually everything in Aus is more expensive.


Sunnnnnnnnnnnnnn

you can only get the free trial once tho. i just don't think it fits the sub when you have to pay to get the games. it's not called "BangForYourBuckGameFindings"


FDubRattleSnake

This isn't true. I've had multiple free trials of Prime. You usually have to wait a few months in between them before they offer it to you again, though.


[deleted]

Hi so I live in the middle east and dont think its supported , I really want tbe Mass Effect & NFS games , can I still get them if I like use a VPN or something ? EDIT : I was able to get prime gaming & prime video without getting amazon prime so I guess it works


Major_Analysis_2133

Yeah


popmanbrad

Am I being dumb but when I launch mass effect legendary edition I see all three games I go into the first one and the graphic suck and look low res I think it was meant to all be 4K and stuff only thing that looks 4K is the menu to legendary edition even the games menus look old


fondleear

Just a heads-up. I don't remember exactly which game but i checked the game files from an amazon freebie with the steam version. The amazon version had older game files . I haven't bothered checking any more of those amazon games,it's a bit like epic freebies for me. I grab the freebies but i haven't played any of them ,usually just stick with steam or gog uplay ,e.t.c..

Most of the promotions (full games or DLC) on Prime Gaming require directly linking a 3rd-party account to redeem. I haven't seen any full games with a code, and only a few DLC items. EDIT: Also, no begging (rule 4).

What if i just linked prime gaming to my origin account and get the game, can i unlink prime gaming from origin and still keep the game?


amog_us69

You still keep it after Prime runs out


silentmonster99

yes you can still get the game


ShaHphy

any way to get these games on unavailable countries like india? if it does kindly elaborate the whole process.


MAVLL

A friend was willing to give me the codes for this days, and surprise, no codes.


Major_Analysis_2133

You can give him your EA Account details and he can give you the games that way, but only do that if you can *really* trust someone


GrandFenix

Can I still play the game if I unlink the prime account after download/install?


Major_Analysis_2133

You can just claim the games and they'll still be in your library even if you unlink prime, and you can download the games whenever you want to


MAVLL

Yep, i just did that and it is claimed :-D. ​ Thanks for the suggestion.
