Allow us to fully close program on "X" out

Thank you, you're advice really helped.

Yeah, and I can turn off my monitor by unplugging it from the wall but that doesn't mean you should remove the power button.

Has a year and a half of watching this thread taught EA anything? Obviously, we all feel the same.

In 1995 the 'Close' button was added to the Windows operating system. It joined the already existing 'Minimise' and 'Maximise' buttons and believe it or not, these buttons are supposed to have unique functions.

While I am aware that EA is an extraordinarily incompetent company in many ways, making the 'Close' button minimise the launcher (and thus making it harder for users to close your software) when for 3 decades even the most simplistic people and programs have had no difficulty understanding and using the button as intended, is extremely difficult to see as anything but malicious.

Everybody already hates this launcher for a variety of great reasons, but it's especially infuriating when EA deliberately makes it worse for the user.

Every other application I've used that has been prickish enough to make 'X' minimise instead of close (by default) has always had an option allowing users to change it. If EA won't outright fix the problem, then for God's sake put in a setting that lets people choose. When in doubt, toggles are the answer to everything.

But of course, this is assuming that EA isn't already completely aware of what they're doing, and it seems beyond a reasonable doubt that they are aware and simply continue to do it anyway.

Absolutely crazy to see that EA still hasn't fixed this problem. This is the basic functionality of Windows programmes and should have never been an issue.

Hey Everyone

As this thread is a bit old at this point, things have changed and been updated, we are going to lock this down so that we can prevent any necro-posting. This feedback has been sent over to the team as a request to be looked into.

If you run into any further issues please create a new thread so that we can begin tracking accordingly!

Cheers!

4 years old and this still hasn't been implemented. Eff you, EA. This is a major reason why I won't use your launcher. Bye. 

We are still waiting for this feature. The EA App is already too intrusive, it only installed because I bought Mass Effect on Steam. So I do not need the app at all. You are forcing it on us. And you don't even allow us to have an auto close option. I really dislike the EA app.
