EA accounts and Steam accounts are different. An EA account is a member account of Electronic Arts (EA), while a Steam account is provided by Valve. Both companies are important players in the gaming industry, but their business focus and operating strategies differ. EA accounts are mainly used to log in to the online functions of some of EA's games and purchase EA products. Steam accounts not only support PC games, but also games on controllers, mobile devices, TVs and other devices, and provide a wealth of social functions, such as creating and joining communities, joining game teams, and participating in online competitions. EA may be able to realize online game archive interoperability with Steam. Information from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office: Individual users can log in to the same online game through any different platforms. This public technology will provide users with a way to integrate accounts. For example, players can retain their progress in the game no matter which platform they log in to online games. Users who log in from different platforms can have value differences identified by business intelligence, and incentive actions can be performed on each platform based on business intelligence.
