You can still transfer your game titles and progress to the new app, though.

    A smarter company will do the migration for their users, especially if the new service is their own software.

      It’s more that many keep Origin because the EA App is so much more of a problem.

      It’s likely a TOS thing

        Likely not smart enough to retain users

    I didn’t know Origin was still a thing. I’m still sore they bought Origin (Ultima, Wing Commander) and turned it into… a download service.

    It’s impressive to make your new app so obviously worse than the last. It’s even more so when your last app was Origin.

      Why? Is there a difference? (I haven’t tried the new one and haven’t used Origin in years)

    Don’t worry everyone, the EA app is just as horrible as the Origin app always was!

    Too bad, Origin was actually pretty solid, the new app is complete trash (at least the last time I tried it)
