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 Maybe it was an outdated info.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.
