Why is the EA App still this Horrendous in 2025?

I can download a 50 GB game on Steam in under 10 minutes. On the EA App? The same size takes literal hours. How is this acceptable for a literal billion dollar company?

The app constantly crawls at not even 10 MB/s no matter how fast your internet is. Gigabit fiber? Doesn’t matter. It basically time travels you back to 2005.

This company literally makes billions every year off FIFA Ultimate Team packs, but somehow can’t manage to optimize a game launcher and can’t give players a launcher that downloads faster than 9 MB/s in 2025. How do you ship AAA titles through a launcher that feels worse than a beta test?

We don’t need flashy UI, we don’t need “social features.” We just need the basics: fast, reliable downloads + stable game launching. That’s it.

Steam, Epic, even Ubisoft Connect have figured this out years ago. EA App is still lagging behind, pun fully intended. This is absolutely ridiculous.
