Why am I getting forced to install EA App?

[puzzlezaddict]

@TTVysnowzie  My understanding is that if you keep the EA App installed, you can also reinstall and use Origin.  (You just can't have both apps open at the same time.)  At least, that's how it's been working for me for over two years, and that's true for many others as well; I haven't heard that this has changed in the last day or two.

Tried reinstalling Origin from this link. It still force-updated to the Ea app and uninstalled Origin on me. Does it whether or not I uninstall the EA app.

Hey all, going forward you will need to use the EA app to play your EA games.

Please follow the steps to install the EA app to continue playing.

this is absurd.

Who is dumb enough to make a video game launcher where you cannot invite your friends to your game. About the dumbest thing ever. Befpre release you shouldve considered that, including all the mods and stuff people use to try and create a way that makes them compatible with the new launcher.

@EA_Darko You aren't listening. The reason everyone here wants to go back to Origin in the first place is because THE EA APP IS BROKEN. The EA App is, by its own admission, still a BETA project and it shows. It clearly isn't ready to replace Origin. A number of games linked to peoples accounts DO NOT WORK. I can't play Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order because I keep getting an error from the EA App saying a problem occurred on the launcher and to try it again later, but it never works! FIX THIS HORRIBLE APP, LET US USE ORIGIN AGAIN, or better still, GET RID OF YOUR DRM.

The problem is we can't continue playing because the EA launcher doesn't work. Every game I try to load gives the 500 error "mysterious error encountered, try again later". After uninstalling, redownloading and reinstalling the launcher, it shows the games as not downloaded, but when trying to download it starts the download but never moves past "processing", literally for hours. This launcher is very broken. Please fix this.

Day #3 I'm still not able to login to the new EA App that replaced Origin. I can't even just go back to just using Origin. I'm starting to lose my patience with EA. Every time they they've done something, something else gets messed up. Please fix this, as the weekend is almost over and still I haven't been able to go on game. This is what I get every time I try and login with EA App.
