Why does EA games make me login to play an offline game?
Why does EA games force me to login to play an offline game? Is it to make the platform look more used than it is, for revenue raising charging for advertisement's etc

@CarlosSpice1985 There are many games that the EA App has that can be played offline. However, in order to do so, you have to log in and check for updates with the app and with the game. Once connected and it checks for any updates, you can then proceed to go offline and play any game that is available.
This is a hot topic of discussion with players and has been sent to the team for review but as of now, that is the way the app is working if a player wants to play offline games. - @EA_Shepard The go offline option hasn't been working, nor can we use the always signed in option from initially signing in. When can we expect real answers for these "solutions" you suggest now? This is not out of snark, but genuine concern as none of our questions can be answered it seems as if the ones you all keep giving us are impossible to do. Please push it to your superiors that it's going to get worse with these kinds of questions if we can't get answers sooner than later.
I work in remote areas with no access to internet. It is very disappointing when I set my app to offline and after anywhere from a few days to a few weeks it suddenly times out and requires me to log back in.
I cant, which means i cant play my games. Games i have purchased.
Is there any way to stop this. Not everyone has constant access to internet, and as it stands i cant purchase any more EA games until this is fixed, like on your competitors apps which give me no such issues.
