☢️ Am I blind or did EA remove an option from their half-arsed app? -- A short rant.

THIS IS A RANT. YOU'RE WELCOMED TO IGNORE IT.
I DO THIS FOR PERPETUITY.

It's bad enough that this steaming pile of trash still don't have a proper Offline Mode, nor can it even remember my settings the majority of the time, but now they're removing those settings?

Just what exactly does the "EA Background Service" even do, 'cause I used to be able to disable it from within the app and the app would still work.

Now, if you kill the process, it takes the app with it.

This is the estimated 34.94 BILLION DOLLAR VIDEOGAME PUBLISHER that is obsessed with "Always -PIRACY- Online" but still cannot design a proper distribution platform?

Where is all the money going?!

The !@#$ing thing is borderline malware.

At the very least it's a potentially unwanted program (PUP).

DOWN TO UBISOFT HAS A BETTER APP THAN THIS, AND UPLAY USED TO BE IN COMPETITION WITH ORIGIN FOR "WORST !@#$ING APP" AWARD!

It's 2025, bruv!

Why is EA App still !@#$?!
