No option to uninstall games after EA play expired

When your "EA Play" expires, your games are removed from "My Collection". This means that right now it isn't possible to uninstall the games you played via your (expired) "EA Play" subscription using the EA Desktop app. 

I can understand that the game is being removed from "My Collection", but i.m.h.o. there is a better option: "lock" these games instead of removing them from the list.

It would be better to make a section under "My Collection" or something where you can still find these games. These games would be "locked" but with the option to either buy them or subscribe to EA Play again and to have the 3 dots with the options "Open install folder" and "Uninstall".

On top of that, currently it also removes all the tracked data like the amount of hours you played a certain game.

  • Hey @ActionBrother,

    I appreciate the feedback that you share regarding the EA Desktop. They indeed sounds like some valid QOL changes to the EA Desktop app. I'll make sure to pass them on to the teams.

  • Yeah over a year and nothing fixed forceing people with less Tech smarts to try and unintall themselfs or pay for another month just to free up space EA proving it does not care yet again.

    Please if anyone is haveing this issue dont pay more or wait for EA to do anything
    search on your computer Control panal than add or remove software than the game you want to remove you can also search youtube on how to remove it for a video.
