Let us choose between EA App and Origin Launcher

As the title says, please, if you are not going to fix your app and pay attention to our concerns, then let us continue using Origin until these issues are addressed.

I don't care if we have to reinstall it only to switch again a week later, so long as the app is fixed in that time. There is no reason that we shouldn't be able to play games we have paid for up until that point. The EA App is lacking essential features, is riddled with bugs and errors, and in my case, is preventing me from playing more than half of the games in my library. 

The EA App needs -

The option to disable cloud sync

The ability to easily gift games and add-on content to friends

Improved load and download speeds

To close the background software when the app is closed

To eliminate crashes and errors preventing people from playing their games

& more that I'm sure I'm forgetting right now ...

Until these are fixed, why are we being forced to use the app? Though, I'm fairly certain I know the answer to that too. Just like how you have a volunteer playtesting program, you want your players to test your software and games for FREE, because you don't want to hire people to do proper quality assurance. Why do that when you can force new software on your players and get feedback that way? Well, here it is. We're giving you feedback, and yet nothing has changed in months. Take the feedback that you've gotten for free and do something with it.

  • You can download origin (just not from official site) and keep using it. That's what I did, I uninstalled EA app and reinstalled origin

    @anti-loser1 Unfortunately, I cannot. Even after installing the EA App, the popup urging me to move over to it was still there when opening Origin and it can't be closed out of. Unless they've gotten rid of the prompt in the past few days since I last tried it, this won't work for me or the majority of people.

  • @Coraychi It gave me a prompt to and I installed EA app reluctantly. It gave me issues so I uninstalled it and install origin and restarted computer. Origin has worked. This was in the past week, so that prompt is still popping up for people. From my experience you can get around it. I can't say everyone had this experience though.
