I don't like this app.
I bought ME:LE on Steam. I want to play it but I heard the EA app was buggy, ate money, and had privacy concerns. I thought to myself: "That sounds right about in line with EA." So I used the Origin ...

I have had issues with EA app ever since the betas, but not in the form of monetary transactions.
What bugs me the most is that the game overlay is not working in titles that was made with Origin in mind. Games such as Dragon Age Inquisition and Mass Effect 3 will never display the overlay, even if its life depended on it, but newer EA titles from Mass Effect Andromeda and onwards DOES work with the overlay. It also works fine in Sims, and I have tried every fix in the book for the older titles, but to no avail. This is extremely frustrating to deal with, and the reason why I stopped playing DAI:MP when Origin stopped working for good, because (surprise, surprise) the overlay worked fine with Origin.
sighs ... it was so much easier with Origin, where you could invite friends and join games from the friends list, like you can with every single other game launcher. Come on EA, we are in 2025.
Also, what is up with the 99 friends limit? Origin supported like 400 at least.
