Community ManagerRe: Offline install and play
Hey @DragosTheWise it is not possible to install games through Origin without an active internet connection unless you have the game discs.

I have game discs for a lot of games from EA. But I bought a lot of games in electronic format. I am asking about an offline installer (just like a well-known electronic distribution platform has for its games) because of this: with the possibility of a huge economic crisis there is a bug chance that a lot of the companies in the IT industry will have financial problems or go bankrupt. A lot of them have problems right now. What will happen if your company goes bankrupt? How can I install or play the games that I bought ? An offline installer to download the install kit of the game will surely be appreciated.

Hey @DragosTheWise I would not worry too much about EA going bankrupt.
As for an offline installer, there are no plans for one and it's not something that would be possible due to how games work. You need to be online to download a game.
Darko About the offline installer: Good Old Games has offline installers for their games. I understand that an offline installer cannot be downloaded when the Internet is down. I was talking about downloading that offline installer BEFORE a possible (short term or long term)Internet collapse will happen. As for EA ,I hope it does not go bankrupt ,because I grew with their games. But ,as I said, we are living in some nasty times.
