EA will officially retire its Origin game distribution app on April 17, 2025, transitioning users to the newer EA app launched in 2022. Origin, which debuted in 2011, sparked significant backlash from gamers as EA removed popular titles from Steam to promote its own platform. While the decision was financially sound for EA, it clashed with consumer trust and loyalty towards Steam, marked by features and social connections. The outdated naming of Origin further fueled dissatisfaction among players, making the transition contentious and resulting in a tarnished reputation for EA within the gaming community.
