Why can't I launch my game without signing into the EA app?
Although I'm certain the automatic logout feature is for security reasons, I am quite perturbed that I can't even play my PURCHASED games without logging into the EA desktop app. Is there any way to play the games I purchased, in the likely event that I forget my login info and just want to play my game, without having to constantly go on a password hunting journey every single time I just want to play my game?? WHY is this a thing? Why does the application seemingly "lock" my game and essentially "force" players to use an application to play the game they own in the first place?
Hi @CyberWiccan666 Origin or EA App is required to play games purchased directly from EA for the PC or Mac systems. Similar to Steam, Battle net, and Epic Game Store the client is used to manage your games, account as well as updates or changes to either.
