I've seen this one at this level of discount more than once before, and every time I've refused because it requires not only for you to have an EA account, it requires to have the Origin client always running in the background. For no good reason.

it requires not only for you to have an EA account, it requires to have *the Origin client always running in the background*. For no good reason.

The Origin client only needs to be running in the background while you’re playing the game. This is how EA, Ubisoft, Rockstar, and a few others handle DRM - I’ll take it over shit like Denuvo any day.
