While you can install a 32-bit app on Windows 11, which is 64-bit only, you’ll have to run it through the operating system’s compatibility features. This means you’ll likely encounter issues, especially as games are more complicated than the average app.
This makes zero sense.
Welcome to tech journalism.
Well, actually it’s all journalism, you only notice it in tech because you know more than the author. It’s called Gell-Mann Amnesia: https://www.epsilontheory.com/gell-mann-amnesia/
So they think that… All game code runs through the EA app? That these proprietary launchers are not just a glorified .bat file that runs another file?
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
Wdym? You can just show a new tos update popup which most already do.
Maybe you don’t need to accept new terms to access your library, only new purchases
LMFAO, who makes the ToS do you suppose?
Likely not smart enough to retain users
I own some older EA games on Steam that still launch through Origin to this date (and fail most of the time). They’re gonna update those to remove the launcher, right? …right?
You have no consumer rights if you don’t enforce them either directly or via a representative.
I’d guess your issue is likely to be dealt with? But if it’s not, I’m gonna guess they’ve figured out that they can just ignore it and risk almost nothing.
Is the sims 3 one of those? Ive been looking at getting the collection on steam but likely wont if i’m gonna screw myself
They had me in the first half…
No I don’t think I will
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.

big nope
Why? Is there a difference? (I haven’t tried the new one and haven’t used Origin in years)
just not interested in going through extra hoops for maybe 1-2 games I haven’t played in half a decade lol
Don’t worry everyone, the EA app is just as horrible as the Origin app always was!
^this^
Fuck Origin. Absolute dogshit launcher that does nothing but ruin your day
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.
i bet migrating to the new app is a microtransaction
Too bad, Origin was actually pretty solid, the new app is complete trash (at least the last time I tried it)
I still recall all the complaints when Origin was first released. People simply don’t like change
