I purchased Mass Effect from the Steam Store. Because I purchased it through Steam, I should be able to play it without launching another service, or if I must, I should be able to start it in offline mode. I use my Steam Deck to play ME, but because of your terrible app that wont load after starting it twice, I'm required to uninstall it AND the game, taking several hours to reinstall them both (fortunately my saves get uploaded to the cloud). I had hoped that your NEWER app would be at least a little more advanced, but it's clear you took a step back instead since you can't even load offline mode right, which would fix many of our issues, I would hope including mine. I will not be buying any more games from you on your store or published elsewhere until this issue is fixed.
I play Sims 4 in a modded game. It means that when I go online I have research every mod and creator. There is no way I can do that every month, are you mad!
I got the Horse pack because I could play offline and thought that I had access to my game that I had spent so so much money on. I am apparently a fool because I have to spend two nights a month clearing mods in the evening in order to play a modded Sims 4 game. Does that sound reasonable to you?? As a hobby. I am a mom, I lead activities for kids, and the I get a few hours to myself when I would like to play the game that I paid for only. If I can log on in offline I could do that.
I will not be spending more money on the Sims 4 and I recommend players who like to mod their games and stay offline to start looking for alternative hobbies.
Almost my exact situation, tell you one thing I won't be buying another EA product again.
