Origin Access: Timer or time played?

[JanePhoenix]

@afrocowboy23 The coding for that would likely be quite complex, as the timer would have to be updated all the time to support new games, and be able to recognize what you're doing in-game. It's probably not worth all that effort, and much simpler just to count application runtime. It's game time that you're getting for free, so it's your own responsibility to ensure you get the maximum value out of it, not EA's responsibility. I've heard sometimes that EA Support added extra time to the trial again if the situation merits it, so you're welcome to try, maybe they'll give you some more.

Well, i'm getting the free trial for the sims 4 and it says i have 2 days to play as much as i want - but the timer keeps running even if i close the game. see in file attached.
