The EA App&#8217;s wonkiness was a major exception to that: Players were getting error messages in-game that they were &#8220;missing&#8221; necessary content or had to &#8220;purchase to play,&#8221; even though Battlefield 6 was already in their libraries.<\/p>\n<p>No less a figure than the head of Battlefield at EA, Vince Zampella, was <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/fps\/battlefield-boss-vince-zampella-tells-locked-out-battlefield-6-owners-to-ditch-the-ea-app-and-just-buy-it-on-steam\/\" target=\"_blank\">advising affected players to just refund the game and buy it on Steam<\/a>. I wasn&#8217;t caught in this particular fiasco, but as the home of much of BioWare&#8217;s catalogue (even if purchased on Steam), the EA App&#8217;s general poor user experience has vexed me time and again\u2060\u2014it makes me miss Origin, EA&#8217;s original (and similarly unpopular) proprietary launcher.<\/p>\n<p>But battle passes and XP boosts strike me as fair enough recompense for those who didn&#8217;t heed Zampella&#8217;s advice and stuck it out on the EA App. Aside from this boondoggle and a seemingly middling campaign (but who plays Battlefield for the campaign?) it&#8217;s looking like good vibes, warm feelings, and strong sales for Battlefield 6.
