EA/Origin SUCKS
I have had an origin account for a little over 15 years, I started with The Sims 2 and just recent bought The Sims 4 High School years. I have not had access to my account for over a year. I have not...

Lol just fixed it myself. Turns out the reason nothing worked is because the EA app shortcut DOESN'T launch EA - it launches a useless launcher, that THEN launches the EA Desktop App! So running the EA APP in admin does NOTHING! You need to either MANUALLY EDIT THE SHORTCUT SO IT ACTUALLY TARGETS THE EA APP, or manually launch EA Desktop in admin every time! Either way, the steam release DOES NOT WORK and I am forced to do a workaround every time no matter what.
I reiterate: sincerely, the worst gaming company I can possibly think of. Thanks for nothing.
That's so basic. I've never heard of anyone not knowing that before. You ranted, fair enough if EA was at fault. But this is on you. PC literacy.
2. Linking clients can cause problems, That's real. I stopped linking clients years ago. Since then not a single issue - at all. That's a very stable app. It EA app is required, why add unnecessary complications by starting with Steam.
lt's simple. Buy a Steam game on Steam that's Eula doesn' t include, something like "you agree to sign in to a third party app."
Lauch Steam. Press play. Play.
If it's published by EA. shut down Steam. Purchase directly from EA. The price is set by EA, so no loss.
Launch EA app. Press play. Play.
Epic. Same thing.
Having two clients running for ONE game is asking for trouble. The whole idea of linking accounts makes sense for friends etc. Plus it's likely to help sales. That's what businesses do. It not in the interest to complicate and cause clashes between competitor game launchers, even if they have an agreement. I had a few problems when linking Steam to EA and vica versa. After I put a stop to that I am very happy with the light weight EA app. Sure, Steam is the gold standard, unless you start messing around linking launchers for the same (one) game.
You said LOL. I agree. The laugh is on you. Such dramatic strong offensive attacks are not going to get any EA rep to help you. Especially when the error is simple basic and on you.
You brought this all one yourself. Hopefully you will remember what you have learn't.
Happy gaming! 😁
Edit. I just re-read your first paragraph. Everything before, "either way steam......" show you didn't have a clue. Now you do, and can hopefully enjoy gaming.
Good luck. Flame me back if you want. It's water off a ducks back for me, but it will just go to show childish immaturity. Say nothing, or just say, Ok got now. Make light of it. Not the end of the world and you have solved it. Problem solved.
