new ea app will force updates?

I can't see them making it so others can enter your game, or that it would be mandatory that you allow it. That's a major invasion of privacy and would set off a firestorm. I'm with @Simmingal, since the app covers all EA titles the games like FIFA, Madden and others are the ones that is intended for. I hope we can get into the game without the app. I can take Origin offline and still play, but I can't access the gallery, which stinks.
