Requiring a third party app to launch a game you've paid for on steam should be illegal. Personally, my EA app refuses to function no matter how much I reinstall or repair it... yes, there's a workaround where you can have Origin successfully launch the game but the fact that you may be forced to do nonsense to play your game is unacceptable.

♥♥♥♥ EA and their launcher forcing us to be online to play a single player game. Had and issue with my internet a few days ago and couldn't play the game over the weekend due to this stupid ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

Game is good, but EA is a cancer on the gaming industry. They bought and dismantled the studio that made this game, just like they did with many other good studios, and leech over games they didn't make with abusive business practice. Next time I want to play a game that includes this EA app ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ I'm pirating it for sure

Absolute classics, when they work. it seems like 50% of the time the EA servers don't connect. When they don't you cant play. If I hadn't already played for several hours i would request a refund.
