Poor Steam analog.

  • Not a friendly interface
  • Robbing prices for developing countries, charging 1/12-1/5 of median income for a game, which is like $200-500 for US.
  • Unusable shop

Was forced into moving from origin over to the EA app, update downloads that used to take only a minute now take several hours. not only that sometimes it wont even move from the preparing update stage forcing you to clear the cache. EA should of stuck with origin.

Review from a new or low-activity account — shown here, but not counted in the app rating.

It's surprising just how bad this app is. You'd expect it to just be Steam with some missing features due to being a cheap knock off by incompetent money grubbers, but in reality it's so, so much worse. It's little stuff like forcing 2FA on you, requiring you to re sign in every time you reboot, spyware and more - this app and its developers should be banned from tech in the civilised world. The f**king UNINSTALLER doesn't work.

I haven't installed the software so I'm not rating it or giving it a "review". EA has ruined almost every game franchise it has taken ownership of as well as leading the pack in bad "features" in its games. Moreover, the exclusivity of some titles on its Origin service is absolutely maddening (e.g. Mass Effect 3 is the only game in the series unavailable on Steam).
