@ohhmehgurd @Conan_live @thakinginaz @TheSuperWolf100 @eelnomad Hey everyone, We've received your reports, and those of others that their accounts don't seem authorized anymore. We're checking out what's happening. In the meantime, don't forget about Origin if you want to keep playing!

I was successfully using EA Desktop for a few days, but starting yesterday, it said my account is not authorized. I waited a day, assuming something is wrong on the backend and it would be fixed, but it still says that today, so I uninstalled EA Desktop. Let me know when/if I should reinstall.
