Yes but you need access to the account to actually make changes to it. Logging into, say, your EA account so you can tell your ES account you no longer want your Steam account linked to your ES account requiores, y'know, logging in to your ES account.
That's a question to take up with the services you're asking about. You're wanting to know if they allow you to link a Steam account that is already linked to another of their accounts.
Nothing that happens on external sites affects your purchased licences. However, some publishers like EA will require you to log in to the EA account.
Overall it sounds like you came to the Steam forums to ask a question about the account recovery process for 3 non-Steam services. I suggest you try looking on the sites for that service to find account recovery options.
I can’t log into any of these accounts, friend. I only have access to my Steam account. How am I supposed to access my EA, Rockstar, and Ubisoft accounts? I’ve lost access and can’t log in to unlink them from my Steam account.
I'm trying for weeks to recover the account. I really need to unlink it from Steam, and I've been trying with Steam's own support.
Wouldn't it be easier for Steam to unlink all the accounts and let me register them again?
The linking is done entirely on the OTHER END.
Steam can't unlink what they don't have access to.
No all linking is done via the 3rd parties. So you would either need to recover those accounts or ask them to unlink your accounts from steam.
I know Rockstar for example can only be bound to one steam account. So if you cant recover your rockstar account you would have to make a new steam account and link it to a new rockstar account and rebuy your games. They do this to prevent people cheating in their games on a steam account and just unlink the banned rockstar account so they can link it to a new rockstar account.
Im not sure if the others allow account unlinking to add a new account link....you would have to check their terms of service.
You know how under your profile, you can go to Connections and tell Discord "This is my Battle.net account" and "This is my Facebook profile" and "This is my Reddit account" and "This is my YouTube account" and more?
Imagine going to Facebook and telling them you would like Discord to delete your Facebook profile from an account you added your Facebook profile to. Facebook will have no means to do this. Facebook has no control or interaction with Discord. All that happened when you set up the link was Discord used Facebook's API to get verification that the account is indeed yours; after that their communication is done and the two have nothing to do with each other.
Back in the Early 2000s, when forums had a similar feature, you could add your AIM or YIM handle to your forum profile. But this was just a text field where you could put any name. Even if it wasn't your account. And if I were to add someone else's handle to my forum profile, they would not be able to do anything about it. Certainly couldn't go complain to Yahoo or AOL and ask them to remove the name from my profile on someone else's forum.
What we have today is the same function except now these social accounts have an API set up to verify the account is actually yours before you add it to your profile. After it's been linked, the two don't talk to each other. Steam has no control over what you put on some other platform's profile. And they have no ability to remove it.
You want to talk to the people whose service you are having an issue with.
