For me, I think I've got 1 or 2 games on Origin and a good few hundred on Steam. So I try to go for Steam when I can to try to have as many games accessible through one launcher as possible (also got a handful on each of GOG's and Ubisoft's own launchers).
Might be worth checking if you need an internet connection to play on either. Steam is generally fine to play offline in my experience, but with Origin being an EA platform, I wouldn't be surprised if that needed to be online in order to verify that it's a legit licence every time you want to play.

Just got a new laptop and I fancy getting all nostalgic and playing OG command and conquer. I see there is a 2020 remaster (that looks like C&C and Red Alert, but slightly polished)
On CDkeys it is £4 "on origin" and £8 "on Steam"
When I were a lad, you bought a game, installed and played it.
I am aware that launchers now exist, but haven't used one.
Is there a reason I should pay double for Steam version?
