EA will shut down the Origin app on April 2025 — company asks users to migrate to the new EA app

"Asks" is a funny word to use.

Sim City 2000 uses DOSBox to run. It has some check for Origin. But it's not included in the supplied DOSBox source code. I wonder how it will be after the transition.

Never had the energy to make a proper complaint about the missing source code.

And when someone doesn't get the memo, 6 mo ths later then what? Gotta buy again?

To me at least, the EA App (despite its lame name) is better than Origin ever was. I know that’s not saying much, but there it is. It’s more stable and has a better layout.

I just wish they’d stop thinking I “play The Sims” just because I tried a demo 5 years ago and decided it wasn’t for me.

First EA Download manager, then they came up with EA Origin (I lost all my games from the download manager btw), and now they want to move again to EA App?

Fuck no!

Can you just fucking not, please?
