To EA Origin users, is EA Launcher really their "new" version of their app?!

[Iggy Wolf]

I mean, they didn't say ANYTHING regarding being FORCED to get the stupid app or launcher just for me to continue to play my Origin games. Why fix ♥♥♥♥ if it ain't broken?! I did the workaround that they have online, but it's ridiculous that people should even have to be forced to do a workaround just to continue to access their games. I mean, when Ubisoft switched from Uplay to Ubisoft Connect, at least the transfer was more seamless.

From what I hear, EA App or the Launcher doesn't even reintegrate people's games right or launch them half the time. How do you ♥♥♥♥ up an "app update" so badly? There was almost NOTHING wrong with Origin (apart from the usual things that made people hate it, but at least it worked). If EA wonders why people hate their launchers so much, maybe it's because they can never get it right, and when they do, they can't even be bothered to stick with it.

I've used it ever since I switched to Windows 10 and I'm on Windows 11 now. It doesn't seem that different from Origin to me. As stated, it's more of a UI refresh than anything. As also stated, everything that you have on your Origin account is carried over.

It misses settings, and places a service on pc that always runs.

EAapp is merely a redesign and rebranding of the previous Origin app. dunny why people think it is an entirely different thing.
the "switch" was only an issue if it was done via a few older EA games or 3rd party controlled EA games. it could happen on those that people got "stuck with Origin" and had to manually handle a few things.

Origin had to go eventually, the branding was just trash from the get-go but nobody could have really seen it coming that OriginPC would be a relevant brand ... which was one reason for the rebranding. not because of much legal battle but just imagine working at either and constantly receiving help requests for the other because humans ...

besides this, Origin is not really gone. the 4 macos user still have to use Origin as there will be probably no update there and some day it will cease to function on mac.

I don't know, I think people will use anything they can to be mad at EA. As for me, it was like Origin changed to EA App one day and I had no issues with my games or account.... Though I will say I preferred Origin's UI overall but that's about it.
