EA Desktop straight out of the early 2000s,requires games to be install manually

As someone who doesn't actually hate Origin I've been criticizing this new launcher since the beta started, no offline mode, loads of missing features, bad UI, bunch of bugs, missing library entries ...

    Hey @tyl0413 as the launcher is still in beta then many of the things you refer to are a result of this.

    Not all games are currently supported on EA Play, offline mode has yet to be added and other features are still not there due to it being a beta.

    As for the issue with The Godfather II, as that game pre-dates both Origin and EA Play and has never been available through either then the download options for it may be different than other more modern games.

All games on Origin install automatically and always have regardless of age, just like all other platforms, this is just bad, it's been in beta for over a year and it still doesn't even do the one basic thing it's supposed to well that everyone including EA nailed over 15 years ago. In my opinion this was always a useless change, they should just discontinue it and continue developing Origin instead, no point in remaking everything from scratch when Origin perfectly does them already.

    Hey @tyl0413 the alternative is that legacy titles are not supported and are no longer available to download or install through the EA App.

    When sharing feedback on AHQ please ensure that it is polite and constructive.
