Community ManagerHey @LawnZ0mbie1,
No, there is no specific in-app toggle/option to completely close the EA app on exit.
The only way to completely 'shut down' the EA app is by clicking on Exit via the hamburger menu in the top-left corner of the app, or by right-clicking on the EA app icon in your 'hidden icons' area in your taskbar, followed by clicking on Exit.
I have to say it is alarmingly impudent forcing user to use a launcher and withholding his ability to limit the launchers access in your own system. Without much of a hustle, by closing over other programs, it just uses 200-400 mb of your memory. Not even for something useful to the user.
Simultaneously your licence, when bought from an other source but still an EA product, is not even secured through the imposed launcher. So EA gets all the rights by minimal obligations to the Customer.
Wait, customer is a thing of the past, so is the corresponding respect it seems. Like the saying; User is used for two sectors: Digital and Drugtrade. Thou i believe one of the sectors gain is more evident.
Just a nudge and not directed at you as a person. ^^
