Re: EA Launcher won't allow offline play on steam deck.

There is an offline mode available but to switch to offline mode, you need to be online first. This is as upside-down-inside-out as it can get.
Going online is a little complicated when you are, forinstance, at 35,000 feet!!!

And even if you switch offline before you take off; once the app closes (crash or user action) and you reopen it, it's reset back to online mode!!!!
Basically: you're session has ended: sucks to be you!

The fix is easy:
Just make something along the lines of a checkbox at the sign in/log on screen that gives users the option to play offline directly form there.
When I have a connection, I play online anyway but the problem lies in when I'm traveling and DON'T have the option to connect or when I'm at a destination where there is no/bad signal.

Ow, and checking if the games work is not the problem; they work brilliantly.
Re-buying it AGAIN is just to drunk for words.
I already own it on Origin/EA App, XBOX and Playstation.
I'm not purchasing it a 4th time through Steam (IF it is at all available) just becasue an APP isn't working they way it should.
If that's the solution that EA has to offer, I guess their going to lose customers to the developers/platforms that ARE willing to listen to the people who actually create the companies revenue.
