So I've got a month of EA Play on steam, I installed Dead Space 2 but when I try to launch it, it asks for an activation code lol, even though I got the game from EA Play.
I went to check the support forums for this game and it seems like everyone is having this problem now, and the only solution is to talk to EA support. They will add Dead Space 2 to your Origin account, it works there but if you want to play it on steam you are out of luck.
It's kidna unacceptable to have the game on the steam storefront while it's completely unplayable there, even people who purchased the game years ago had their keys revoked and they don't work anymore, apparently other old EA games like ME2 suffer from the same problem on steam but I'm not sure about that.
TLDR: Dead Space 2 asks for a non-existing activation code if you try to play it on steam and you need to ask support to add the game to your origin account in order to play it on PC.
