I am forced to use Origin to launch The Sims, and first of all I don't understand why that's necessary. It's downloaded on my computer, all the files are there, so why do I need some nonsense third party app to launch a game? Maybe there is some programming bs I don't understand, but either way it's so tedious. Especially when it randomly decides you need internet for it to function. Half the reason I have The Sims on my laptop is so I can play it without anywhere, especially without internet.
Origin also likes to randomly sign me out even though I have the option to stay sign in marked. And then I couldn't remember my password, and to change it I can't even click out of the window that got me there or else the whole action is cancelled.
Origin is a waste of space, I only have it because I've been forced to, there are no redeeming qualities, even the user interface is incredibly ugly and awkward.
