Hello, everyone. The EA App now requires a 64 bit PC running Windows 10 or 11. MacOS running Catalina or newer is also supported.
Community ManagerI know you do not want to hear this, but Windows 10 is the minimum requirement for the EA app.
The EA app for Windows is available to all players on a (minimum) 64-bit PC system, running Windows 10, and 11. The EA app for Mac is available to players on macOS Catalina or newer.

Yes, but what changed from December to today that rendered the app useless? It was working fine half a year ago. It also straight up feels like EA has stolen my games and are holding them hostage, on account of not giving me an option to play them any other way.
If EA now suddenly has a minimum requirement, they should "release" the games from the bonds of their launcher and let us play them without their launcher. I dont think this is morally right in any capacity to force the games I've purchased, well before EA grabbed the rights to them, behind a not-needed launcher, and then wash their hands of them and say sorry, these are not for you to play anymore.
Had I known 5 years down the road that EA was going to rip the games out of my hands, I would have made sure Origin and whatever was never gonna see the internet again.
Why is there no work-around for older setups? It would have been as simple as just an offline, standalone launcher. Especially considering it working fine 6 months ago. It's really not right.
