Re: EA Desktop Background Services not disabled using toggle in Application Settings

@Mand1sis Every week I check back here to see if it’s been fixed. Guess I’m still waiting.

Until this is gone, I won’t be installing EA Play.

    Even when set to "manual", the service starts itself up randomly, constantly running in the background, phoning home until the computer is shut off or restarted. There's probably another agent running under a different name starting the other service up.

    Genuinely, unapologetically, EA spyware.

    Fix yourselves!

    EA Desktop. Liked the new look, hate the background service running even when the application is not. Uninstalled within minutes.

    Origin has this background service too. Battle.net app too but theirs starts with the app and ends with the app.
