EA App Required Now?

I do believe this push from Origin to the EA App, has everything to do with the next iteration of the Sims franchise, and nothing at all to do with Sims 4. I believe they are testing our tolerance for subscriptions and other micro transaction in the next iteration of the sims through the Sims 4. I believe, that they are making sure that no matter how we feel, that, if what ever else comes from the Sims 4, they turn a beautiful profit, is a good sign to them that the next iteration of Sims will profit well too. This is why switching from Origin to the EA app is so messy right now, because it is not about the Sims 4.
