Community ManagerHello @UberNoodle,
I have moved your post since it is more of a feedback rather than a bug report or technical issue with the EA app client.
Regarding the situation where the EA app launches itself when you launch an EA game through Steam, this is actually intended behaviour. Many other publisher games available on launchers like Steam require the launcher of the main publisher, in this case, the EA app, to function properly.
In regards to the EA app popping back up in the foreground once you close an EA game or finish your play session and close the game, this is also by design. However, we appreciate your feedback on this matter and have shared it with the appropriate teams.
I hope this clarifies things for you. Let me know if there's anything else I can assist you with.
Thanks.
Hello,
I came to the forums for this exact reason:
'In regards to the EA app popping back up in the foreground once you close an EA game or finish your play session and close the game, this is also by design. '
Who chose for this to be? It's annoying and NOT necessary. Just leave it minimized after closing a game like all the others.
If I want to play another game, I'll launch the app myself and if I want to close it, I'll close it.
I saw a post from DECEMBER saying this... that post was closed lmao. See blow:
how do i stop ea app opening when i open or close a game - Answer HQ
PLEASE, forward this to whoever chose that design and PLEASE just let it stay minimized. Everybody wants it.....
Community ManagerSeriously, the threads should not be locked or closed until AFTER the issue is resolved?!?
(both X not closing the app as it should, and the app putting itself in the foreground against the user's wishes).
Resolved doesn't mean telling people "that's how we want it" resolved means fixing it so that it stops violating how users want THEIR computers to function.
