Nobody is going to miss EA's Origin game launcher when it shutters in April

Electronic Arts' Origin app has been around since 2011, but this year will be its last. The often-reviled game launcher is going dark for good on April 17th, which is only a few months away. The good news is that EA already released a replacement in 2022, known as the EA app, not that it's much better than the Origin app it is replacing, which is likely why Electronic Arts started releasing its games on Steam back in 2019 after a lengthy hiatus. So, if you've yet to switch to the EA app from Origin, the clock is ticking.
