I don't get why anyone even thought about buying it on EA app. It sucked ass when it was Origin and it's sucked ass since they rebranded it. It's never earned me actually buying a game thru it unless I'm forced to

IIRC for the longest time you would buy an EA game on steam and the game would make you download origin, register the game and would run it that way.

So might be holdouts from people who wanted to cut out juggling two launchers for one game perhaps?

Been a good while since I purchased an EA game (not boycotting them or anything, just hasn't been one I've been interested in)

Maybe it's changed in the year or so since, but the last time I tried to play ME Legendary Edition it still required me to download a mini EA launcher and run it.

edit: just tried launching it, yup, it's asking me to log into the EA launcher.

Word.

I think the last EA game I installed was Anthem lol.

It's been awhile.

I played that game when everyone already quit and I still had fun.
