EA Desktop asks me to log in to my microsoft acc, but I own the games.

Excuse you, "working as intended"?
So this is a deliberate dark pattern to bully legitimate customers into getting a new subscription?

The "potential solution" is a poor work-around at best, given that this requires several clicks through misleading information about titles that you already have a valid license for without any subscription or logging in again.

To be clear, desired behavior is as follows:
The launcher lets you play any game you have a license to, without any irrelevant dialogs getting in the way.
The launcher ONLY shows the discussed dialog prompts IF and ONLY IF the user does not have a license, and access can be gained through such a subscription.

Also: there shouldn't be a bar at the top either complaining about logging into a microsoft account that was only relevant during a single month of a gamepass trial, or there should be an obvious way to disable that reminder.

Hey @RC-1290,

Cheers for the feedback.

As mentioned in my previous post; I understand that this isn't exactly a nice flow, and that feedback has been passed on to the EA app teams.

However, at the moment, in the meantime, the only potential solution would be to click away/cancel the warning screens.

Hey @EA_Leeuw !

Thanks for the responses, I had the same problem, and now it really works as you described.

However this method is really misleading, please fix it as soon as possible, because at the first attempts, I thought I lost my owned games just because once I activated and connected GamePass in the past with my account. This is not a "working as intended" solution, but an ugly quick-fix instead.

I tried the EA App because I heard that now its officially replaced Origin after 2 years of development, but as I can see even 2 years wasn't enough to be "perfect". With Origin, it works fine, no problem at all.

Regards, Daniel

This works and it's what I've been doing, but it's absolutely absurd that I have to do this. This shouldn't be considered "Working as intended". This should be fixed in a future release of the EA app. As it stands now, I won't be purchasing any additional games from EA until this is fixed.

@EA_Leeuw I have to agree with others here this simply isn't an acceptable solution. If the EA app is going to replace Origin then it should be a better user experience and it simply isn't. Did the app team really think this was a good way to do things?

Hey @timmccansy, @Daveed84x, @voteDC,

I can understand that this isn't the solution you were hoping for, but at the moment it's sadly the only one there is.

As mentioned in my previous posts, the feedback regarding this has been passed on.
