Re: EA app Fails to Remember "Keep me signed in" Option
This just started happening to me last week. They seem to have stored a token in the background process. I do not leave my computer on. I turn it off every evening. That was never a problem before. The other gaming platforms for which it is not a problem:
Steam
GoG
Epic
Paradox
Ubisoft
So, one must ask oneself why EA can no longer keep me logged in, when I have the check in the box to stay logged in. For every platform, I shut down my computer every night. Only EA fails to remember my log-in data. If you open EA to an empty library, you have to shut-down the background process and all other EA processes, then restart the app. If you do that, it will tell you it cannot find your log-in data; to restart EA. Restarting EA results in the same thing - it cannot find your log-in data. That is why I assume that EA has put a token in the background process. Since the background process closes when I shut-down my computer, my log-in data is lost, and I am forced to log-in anew the next time I want to play a game that I paid over 600€ over the last 9 years to be able to play with all the content.
I'm disinterested in the reasoning. I am not leaving my computer on. I resent having my time wasted by being forced to log-in every time I want to play that game that I paid so much money for.
I resent being forced to have internet connection while playing a game that I paid so much money for. EA wants me to be a mindless optimist. I would be much nicer, if I were not plagued with bugs in the EA app and in The Sims 4. Today, my mini-goats and mini-sheep cloned themselves EVERY SINGLE DAY. My queue emptied out over and over again, causing me to have to re-queue things. My sim ran off randomly wasting an hour of in-game time, although the autonomy is completely disabled. The horses do not sleep when I tell them to. I'm trying to feed them and it hangs, then deletes the command. Twice I had to restart the game, because the game locked up for over an hour in-game time on a single command. Beta testing would have revealed these issues. We are not only unpaid beta testers, we pay you so that we can work for you.
Next, your devs will accuse me again of filing fake bug reports, or give me warnings for not being mindlessly optimistic, when your apps function so poorly. Devs: Spend more time fixing the games and less time harassing players for being frustrated by the poor state of the EA app and the games you cannot play without being forced to use the EA app.
