Community ManagerBut why? Thats what Im trying to understand. Origin wasnt like this. I could go days without an internet connection with Origin and my game would launch perfectly. All I needed to do was open Origin, it would place me in offline mode automatically, Id launch the game, and play. If Origin did this, why cant the suppose to be new and improved app do this too? It seems so unfair to have forced us off an app that worked to one that doesnt. Especially to those of us like me who don't have consistent internet service. We can't go back to Origin, they won't let us. We paid a lot of money to play the game and they need to allow us access. Those of us who are buying our game legally should be treated a little better ☹️ It's very upsetting. By the way, until the ea app was updated last time I could open it without internet service and it would go into offline mode automatically too so whatever they did, they did it recently. And thank you for replying by the way, I appreciate the response. I understand the app needs a connection, I just don't get why when it wasn't like this before, and it's frustrating me to be frequently locked out of the game I paid for because I live in an area without good internet.
I think they did this "By Design" to weed out piracy. There is no other reason in my book
the more they try to implement anti piracy measures, the more pirates will up the ante' legit users will only put with so much inconvenience and will eventually stick two fingers up at EA and look elsewhere.
Funny thing is, I've often contemplated going pirate to 1. Get rid of the EA App and 2. Be able to play without updating
