    @EA_Darko I don't think there is any IF here, people are frustrated because near three months later the same issues are occurring and EA are seemingly unwilling or unable to fix them.

    I get that people need to remain polite but EA also need to start fixing the EA App and unblock Origin until they've done so.

    Hey @voteDC discussing moderation isn't something we allow on AHQ.

    @EA_Darko I apologise if my post came off that way, my intention wasn't to discuss moderation .The point remains that for three months people are being denied access to their content and games by the EA App

    The temporary fix of allowing Origin use again is something EA could allow to get people back to playing the content they've paid for until the EA App is working as it should. Is this something that EA are even considering?

  • Good for you voteDC. I also got a "no-no" note from @EA_Darko because I mentioned an "alternative" action on the part of people who paid for games they can no longer play. I have come to the conclusion that EA couldn't care less about us. I just think if EA was loyal to its customers they would do something so simple as doing a new version of Origin sans u/g so we could play offline games until EA is straightened out.

    @DragonGoonster That's it though, they just need to issue an Origin update that removes the forced upgrade to the EA App. They could fix the issue in less than a day.

    Don't get me wrong I understand they likely don't want to be seen to be rolling back to an older launcher, doesn't look good to the shareholders, but people not being able to play their games isn't a good look either.

    I'm actually surprised this hasn't broken wide onto the gaming news sites.
