EA app refuses to work

I got a new computer recently and I was thrilled to go back to my Star Wars Jedi: Survivor and get back on track…. Too bad I gotta go through the nightmare that is having to deal with the Ea app: it freezes, it gets stuck on allocating disk space for the installation, it completely saturates the ssd I want to put the game on, doesn’t respond to force quits by task manager, doesn’t want to uninstall itself, it basically protests against me. Why does it have to be this bad? If you don’t know how to build a Steam alternative, just don’t. Use Steam.
