Redeeming Codes for "Command & Conquer Ultimate Collection (2012).

SUBJECT:  Redeeming Codes for "Command & Conquer Ultimate Collection (2012)."

I just got this Collection delivered. Went out and bought a new 4 TB External Drive to install the 17 games on. Great start. The problem starts with the info on the "How to Download Your Games" sheet was printed back in 2012, about 12 years old. They keep referring to "Origin," go to Origin.com to get a "desktop client" to use to launch the downloads, create an account at Origin, etc.. What the H!?$ is Origin? You have to start by Redeeming a product code in order to start downloading the 17 games. 

Problem: I managed to get to an EA site, set up as a New Member, tried to Redeem the codes there, got to a page where it asked me to enter the 20 digit code, then the next page was to start the download. It did not do anything there. It kept going in circles, and reminded me that my codes were already entered, but that was it. 

The AI Chat-bot was useless. It could not recognize basic questions, not even the questions it said that if you asked them using those words, it would respond with an answer. 

Then I went to the EA Help section, there a guy asked a question about problems with Redeeming codes, a Volunteer's response was to direct him to an Origin site to get an App from there to use. Problems: Question, and advice was from 2008-ish. But, it gave me the idea of finding the EA App, and setting that up. 

Well, miracles do happen. The EA App had all the games set up there. The codes were Redeemed, even thought the EA site would show a list of them, but not download them. At the EA App, I moused over a game and it had a Download tab, clicking on that started the game downloading. The games showed up on the left side under "Installed games." I clicked on all the tabs, the games queued up for downloading. Icons for each game set up on the computer, as soon as the last game is downloaded, I will do a Restart to see what happens. Supposedly I log into the EA App, pick a game from the Installed Games list on the Left Side to pick a game to play each time I want to play one. There should be info on the EA page that says Origin does not exist anymore, to go to the EA page to join as a Member, then download the EA App, then Redeem codes there. And, it should be mentioned it is no longer 2012.
