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.
This behavior of how the EA app (apparently for no reason) puts itself in FRONT of whatever else you happen to be doing, without the user wanting it to is infuriating and extremely stressful.
For example, I might have just quit Apex and gone on to doing something else, and while I'm in the middle of doing the next thing this obnoxious app pops up like a slap in the face.
Why do you imagine this behavior is acceptable?!? It absolutely is not.
