Re: When will EA APP replace Origin as the definitive platform?

Is there a specific reason to use Origin instead of the EA App?


Well let's see here:

1) It shows multiple copies of the same game individually, clearly labelling Standard, Deluxe, Steam etc. EA Desktop mushes them all into one and you are not sure any more if that's some misguided sense of simplicity or if they deleted the other two copies (activations), leaving only one, like what happened when EA first returned to Steam (Steam keys were overriding Origin copies and visa versa until they fixed that).

2) Origin allowed us to choose the install directory for the client itself. EA app setup does not allow you to change the install directory and forces itself onto the C drive. What a brilliant idea! /s Let's just cut decades old Windows feature!
