It is so disappointing

It is so disappointing. Constant lags, high prices, buttons that do not work propperly, lack of connectivity (even tho any other software is connected and works). Truly, truly bad app marketplace.

Games Vanish!!!

Joined in 2007 after purchasing C&C Tib Wars.
Tried to replay 2020 and it had vanished from library.

EA disagree I never purchased the game and it was never in the library. I have just been a member since 2007 without playing a single game until 2014 with a purchase of Mass Effect 2. They say I may have purchased the game but possibly used steam (not in steam library)

I have requested "My EA DATA" a number of times and have been ignored.....

I believe this is a regular thing when reading forums etc.

Not even bothered anymore, but wont purchase any EA titles in future, and I really loved the C&C range

To many technical issues, no support.

"Opps, well that didnt go to plan" I frequently get this annoying msg. Too many technical issues with the platform. There are also frequent updates, that literally change nothing, it looks the same, same errors, its complete trash. Support is non-existant.

Terrible

Terrible, it doesn't work for people without admin permissions, unlike steam which I would choose anyday over origin

Horrible Experience

Horrible Experience, ban my account with no Warning, spoke with EA Support and made a reactivation request which was denied.

Never had these issues with Steam or Uplay or any other Platform.

I heard that EA games were going to Steam.
Steam I have not had any problems with.

Purchased some 2/3 years ago or in some cases, even longer from EA games/ Origin. I have not got one of these Origin games to work over a two year period. 17 Origin purchased games.

As I have previously had no problems with Steam, I re-purchased 4 already purchased EA/Origin games for a second time, this time through Steam.

Do they work? NO. You have to install Origin and use that blasted setup, at the same time as using Steam.
In other words, Steam has to go through Origin to play these games.
Over £ 40 extra pounds down the drain as the Steam games, as per the Origin/EA games , DO NOT FUNCTION on either platform.

Sorry Steam, but you should have checked that the games functioned on your system prior to taking money from the public.
Overall, as I see it, this smacks as fraud.
Beware, folks!!

Apex legends probably has some of the worst devs in the industry. They're interns who can't fix their bugs and PMs who only got the map right once with King's Canyon and are still trying to live of being a has been.

I hate origin so much

I hate origin so much. I have weak wifi at home and all I want to do is play games offline. But like every week origin asks me to update and won't let me play my games until they're updated. This takes like 15 hours and never completes. I can't even play my games! The worst part about it is that the updates are so frequent and they add nothing to my gameplay! I just want to play my games. Hate it so much.

Crappy system

It's a gaming platform. You assume you'd get to launch games. It will not let you play the games you paid for... Unless you're willing to do a deep dive in the forums every other week to find out how to fix it

pure scam

Origin keeps deleting my accounts for no reason. When i contact customer service i get informed they have absolutely no records of the email i have used to log in with the past 3 years. this has happened several times. I`ve lost a fortune on games that forces you to log into origin to play. Its pure scam
