Why am I getting forced to install EA App?

every time i open origin it softlocks me into a window that suggests to install ea app. now i thought okay its forcing me to install this must be a good reason but no. i log in with the right account, got my games, my mods work and then i find out ea app doesnt allow me to invite friends to my games? and i thought okay, ig i deinstall this garbage and go back to origin,  but when i logged myself in it tries to force me again to install the ea app. what kind of idea is it to force the switch when u said just a while ago that origin will still be usable but no u force me to install the app that disallows me from playing w my friends. i`m absolutely fed up with this.

  • just wanna throw this out there, i don't know if they updated it bc it didn't work, second, NEVER EVER am i trusting random pepole online, i was happy cause i got rid of the pop up but it didn't work, liars

  • Don't have the Origin app since EA updated their app months ago, so this supposed fix is not a fix for many of us.

    Obviously not everyone's computer is the same so all fixes/workarounds aren't for everyone. But months later, I still recommend @NovaDragonScale 's link to the YouTube video by StickmanWeasle and also another video on his channel to get rid of the popup (and also the white screen...but since I never intend to download from EA again, I don't care if Origin is just a white screen). Best wishes
