EA App is an awful replacement for Origin
I originally opted in to the EA App when it was first announced, I quickly replaced it with Origin as it wasn't particularly easy to use, was buggy and frankly a downgrade. I assumed by the time EA decided they would pull the plug on Origin the app would be ready, joke is on me I guess (and everyone else with EA Games).
The app is still a mess. Half the time it won't start, when it does it'll tell me I have no internet connection, and then when I do click the 'restart' button it 'forgets' my login credentials and I have to log in again, from scratch.
Playing games is hit and miss. I tried to run a game (Plants vs Zombies) I've owned on the platform for years. I now get taken to a screen telling me I don't have a licence for the game and I need to purchase one. Not a chance am I paying for games multiple times because EA can't get it's launcher working properly.
What's worse, this mess has now affected games I own on Steam. Thankfully not all of them, but I suspect it's coming.
Sort this mess out EA, or at the very least give people the option to go back to Origin. It was basic, bare bones and unimpressive in many ways, but it worked as a launcher and actually kept track of the games I own licences for. Ubisoft, Rockstar, 2k etc have all managed to get the basics right, but the EA App is something I dread having to launch because I know every time I'm in for a world of troubleshooting before I can even start playing my game. Very poor, very frustrating.
