EA App is not even a little bit better than Origin. Offline mode straight up doesn’t work in the EA App, which has been reported so many times and ignored. You can’t move your installation to another drive like you could with Origin. You can’t gift games or DLC to your friends in the EA App like you could in Origin. EA apps sucks so much that when I recently purchased Mass Effect Legendary Edition for the ridiculous deal of 90% off (on Steam), and then remembered I would have to use the EA App to play it, I immediately refunded it. Given a choice, I would happily go back to Origin. I hate the EA App so much. It deserves a negative score.

I’ve always thought that was something they had to put in place to place publishers. I mean, sharing is basically the same as stealing, right? So they had to make it really dumb in order for pubs to go along with it?

I doubt it. It makes it essentially useless nowadays to given how many single player games have a online requirement.

Ya I never understood that. I can understand that one game being locked while someone is playing, but everything is ridiculous

If you’re going to try and compete with something like Steam, you need to actually compete.

Most launchers are storefronts at best and nothing else. Often the buying experience isn’t even good.

I would like to see Steam broken up so it is just as a storefront as well

Do you mean to say that Steam has a store front separate from the launcher?

Monopolies

As the comment section points out; it’s impossible to compete with steam because they have so many adjacent perks

And all software should only ever do one thing, otherwise it’s bloat
