First I heard of this…glad I only have a handful of games…wonder if the Origin accounts will transfer or (this is expected)…accounts are gone along with all purchased games and corresponding DLC.
the sims 3 still doesnt work on the new app so i have to use origin to run my damned game. would love it if ea cared at all about preserving older games.
Origin worked, eventually but barely; the ui felt like a fisher price touch screen trying to hide options & info behind menu trays then another option screen, it took too many clicks to do anything, even correct mis-clicks.
EA App is marginally better but it’s already getting on my nerves and probably won’t get better. At least I rarely had to interact with Origin when BF3 & 4 BLog became good enough.
I’ll be honest, I’m a nostalgic guy. I really enjoyed GameTap. I loved the GameSpy arcade. I miss old flash games from the cartoon network website. I even went so far as to emulate windows 95 on my computer so I can play the old solitaire with the animated decks.
But I will never be nostalgic for FORCED game launchers. Origin, Ubisoft, Rockstar, etc. are literally bottle necks for my gaming experience.
The real shame here is that EA took the face of the company responsible for such gems as *Ultima,* *Wing Commander,* and *System Shock* to drive their clown car of a launcher system. That frustration almost seems intentionally designed to get modern gamers to say “Origin sucks.” And it worked.
I finally got around to playing the Mass Effect Legendary Edition. I got 100% achievements the first game on Origin then it said switch to EA so I did…
I finished ME2 and noticed Not a single Achievement unlocked for it.
I went back to Origin and was nearly at the end of the 3rd game unlocking the Achievements. Now being forced to get EA again
Now I’m wondering if I’ll get the rest of them now.
Of course, the real RIP was the original Origin, makers of the original Ultima and Wing Commander games. Bought by EA and killed off like many other studios, but with the added insult of having their name attached to a launcher so current gamers just associate the name with sadness.
Did not even hear about this until now. I assume this EA App thing will just use the same login and essentially act as a facelift for Origin.

Unpopular opinion. It doesn’t deserve to rest in peace.
It’s not completely dead. If you’re one of the 5 people who play the Sims 4 on a Mac, then you’ll still be using Origin
More like good riddance Origin. Now if they had only decided NOT to make another launcher.
All games they sold now work offline?
What happens to the likes of mass effect ? I have it on steam and that origin crap fucks the steamdeck experience
Remember using this for bf3, the crashes.. Oh mu
Thank god it’s dead
oh no anyway
Rust in Piss, Origin.
No one ever wanted you
they finally removing it? neat….
wait no that means they are replacing it with more bloat doesn’t?
You won’t be missed Origin.

It will not be missed
Nothing of value was lost
Its just being replaced by that EA App thing. Same thing, different name.
Let it die also Ubisoft connect please
EA needs to admit defeat already, they’ve made countless games Origin Exclusive and they all end up on steam in the end.
EA app won’t be any different, and probably full of new bugs and incompability issue with their mostly aging catalogue.
Lmao my password for origin was “Battlefield 4” because that’s all I used it for
Wouldn’t know. Haven’t used EA since Battlefield 4 came out.
The real origin died a long time ago my young friend.
R.I.P. bozo

90’s me was confused for a minute. Didn’t Origin die decades ago?
Give me Wing Commander Privateer 3 already! LoL

Not a fan of the EA App.

Oh no! …anyways
Rest in Piss. Worst game launcher there is.
While Origin was already shit, EA App is even worse. Lmao
Ultima players: First time?
I agree rest in piss. It was a trash launcher
Let’s not pretend like Origin wasn’t a terrible launcher
The EA App is bugged with awarding achievements for Mass Effect Legendary Edition on Steam, so Origin dying has just killed my trilogy playthrough.
