Community ManagerJust so you are aware @Normand_Nadon22 discussing moderation is a breach of the AHQ User Rules and Guidelines.
If you wish to play EA games then you will need to use the EA app, you will no longer be able to use Origin.

Exhibit A: EA and their employees don't understand the concept of KNOW YOUR CUSTOMER.
At your peril Electronic Arts....
I am posting this on LTT forums, maybe they can pressure EA during a WAN Show!
https://linustechtips.com/topic/1494609-subject-for-wan-show-ea-app-fully-broken-thousands-of-players-cant-play-their-gamesLove it, freaking radio silence from anyone with an EA before their name for months only for them to come in and threaten a user with a ban for calling them out on it. Way to go EA
- Sounds about right. They don't care, if they ever have, but it feels like it's been a race to the bottom of the barrel ever since they rolled out Project Ten Dollar back in 2009/2010.
With the possible exception that, if my suspicion is correct, they might care juuuust enough to keep forcing people to use their proprietary apps so they can both get unpaid product testing out of it and fight for every last cent they can get at the same time. Since they're probably counting on people buying new games / add-ons directly through their stupid app (rather than through, for example, Steam).
