It's insane that this issue isn't fixed yet. Wanna play Battlefield with EA Play? Gotta have EA Desktop installed because it doesn't work in Origin. Want to play Mass Effect? Gotta have Origin because it doesn't work in EA Desktop. Oh but you can't because you will get an error about running both apps at the same time even though they aren't.
EA, please get your * together and figure out if you want to move forward with either Origin or EA Desktop. Requiring one for some games and the other for other games is unacceptable, especially since they don't play well together.
