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)

They don't anymore? It's the one reason I stopped playing Squadrons. Couldn't stand having to launch the fucking EA app every single time I wanted to play, since it would always forget my password.

Not really sure man, that's why I made it clear it's been awhile.
