That is so fucking annoying. How they gonna say you can’t play a game that you bought.
Ffs.
I was having similar issues with Red Dead Redemption 2 on Steam. Like RDR2 is still a great game but that DRM bullshit can go fuck itself.
Comment on EA just added classics like Dungeon Keeper, SimCity 3000, and Populous on Steam

EA's launcher still requires internet access though, right? If so, you're probably better off sticking to the GOG versions. I booted up Jedi: Fallen Order on a train, and EA told me "no".

Just FYI, it generally seems that none of these require origin or the EA app or any more than Steam as DRM.

I don’t know about these newly added games but I can launch Sim City 4 from Steam without Origin.

I don’t think these games require the EA launcher.

Maybe not. The disclaimers on the side of the store page appear to be different between these and some other EA games. I hate how hard it is these days to discern if a game has a stupid always-online requirement.

Can confirm at least on the C&C bundle there is no EA app requirement
