Re: EA Play
@PlasmaScramble The MELE is available in both Origin and the EA App if you own it outright or have an EA Play subscription bought directly from EA. The only reason you'd be limited to using Origin is if you bought the MELE (or an EA Play subscription) through Steam, but that's because the Steam tie-in only works with Origin, not the EA App. That will be addressed eventually, I'm sure, but in the meantime, Origin is the only option.
How do you own the game? Iss the MELE in your game library when you open the EA App?
