Last time I tried to play Mass Effect (through Game Pass) it told me I need to install the EA App. However I couldn't install the app because "you have to uninstall Origin" first.
So I uninstalled Origin and all games I had installed through Origin. Still I couldn't install the app till I restarted the PC.
Then I had to login to EA via browser to verify my account. Then I could login in the new app and then I could play the game.
After my game pass ran out, I looked at the Steam page of Mass Effect to buy it, but Steam said that Origin (not the EA app) is required. At that point I was done with EA games. Maybe it was an outdated info. I don't care. I surely would've got the game running eventually, but I just don't care enough.
And don't get me started about the Ubisoft launcher, which doesn't seem to understand that I don't want to run games as an admin user.
I get your frustration. I feel it myself. Still, I fear, calling people assholes won't be helpful and prevent folks from admitting they did wrong. At the same time, it can always get worse (hotter) and I think it would be best to win as many people over as possible, to do the right thing.
I don't know. We're fucked anyway, I guess.
