No EA app? Holy shit, I absolutely didn't expect that. I fully expected it to be a steam release that opens up that stupid launcher every time.

Those launchers are cancer for the Steam Deck. Even trying a Steam Deck verified game started like Star Wars Squadrons was more difficult than it needed to be with that extra layer of bullshit.

Yeah I'm not going to hold my breath. They might just add the EA app back in after an update.

Or add EA anti-cheat 6 months after release like they did for EA WRC.

There is no guarantee that EA won't change the deal after you've bought the game.

Good on them for doing that, too bad as a fan of the series the game doesn't interest me.
