Can this game get some Steam support? I've had a feeling that it not working in Steam is a cheap marketing tactic for Origin, but I am not sure on that, it could just be my computer. If that's the case could someone please explain how I can get it to work in Steam? If not then can this game get some recoding to work on Steam? This is one of the biggest turnoffs for me really when I play is that I can't chat all my friends and have to alt tab back into the game to a loading screen that REALLY shouldn't even be coming up since I am already LOADED.

Actually they are on topic. Origin is EAs own "Steam"...

the alt tab loading thing is attributed to having the game in full screen mode. full screen windowed or windowed fixes it.

Regardless of what it is, it was a completely idiotic idea to create a Steam copy, and it was also a dumb idea to make it not work on Steam if that was the intention. If I can put any other game on Steam and have it work with the interface in game, I think this should be no exception.

You must not know about steam integration.

It's still rather pointless, and I'm not a fan of windowed mode to be honest.

Steam overlay would be handy for this game.
Where is your Early Access you may ask? I took it. Its that simple.

If other games can do it, this one can.

Take that old computer that is sitting in the corner that is no longer any good for gaming and load steam on it.

Problem solved.

Best part is you can surf the web and do other things as well while you are playing SWTOR on your main computer.

Would do that if I had another computer :\. That's kind of ludacris to even HAVE to do that though.
