Origin’s Shutdown?

I heard that EA are closing down Origin for good because Microsoft ended support for 32-bit software. I have The Sims 2 and The Sims 3 on EA App and they launch just fine, would I still be able to play them after the shutdown? I don’t think they provided much info on this, I’m just worried about my games.

  • @RickxAbsinthe43  Origin is currently Mac-only and is being killed off for reasons that have nothing to do with Windows's lack of support for 32-bit OSs.  (It still runs 32-bit apps just fine; the issue is that it's not updating 32-bit versions of Windows.)  And if you're playing on Windows, you should be using the EA App already, which will still support Sims 2 and 3.
