Yeah I bought Jade Empire through steam some time ago, I believe it was on sale or something and I honest forget why I didn't buy it on origin at all. However does this mean I can never get credit for having Jade Empire like I do all the other BioWare games that show logo's under my name?
So I can't register my copy of Jade Empire because I got it through Steam?

You should just be able to enter the key for the game into Origin and have it available there.
The link to your key should be on the right side of the Steam interface when you select the game.
Of course I don't have the game on Steam so can't say for sure that it'll work but that is the method I used for the first Mass Effect.

I dont see anything that looks like a product key. I remember some game in the past did allow me to see it but now nothing.

If you launch the game on Steam, do you get a CD Key window?

um cant post that screenshot... could it be that Jade Empire is just licensed as a valve game and not a third party one? that's the only explanation i can think of?

I would attempt to search online for a way to retrieve your cd key from the Windows Registry. I will attempt to search when I get the time to do so.

Not sure if this will work, but have you tried:
1) Right click the game in your Steam "Library".
2) Select "View CD Key".

That's the weird thing, it doesn't even exist.

Have you reached out to EA support?

With the forums shutting down it's not worth the bother.
