Willing to bet that the backend that they are using doesn’t actually give any useful error messages.

Would they surface that to the user anyway? That’s something to log, not to tell the client that xyz service failed because of error 123.

I hate this attitude. Yeah don’t give the user stacktraces on error but if you give it a meaningful headline and go in detail, experienced users will be able to deal with the problem if possible. If you go Microsoft-error of mystic ways you will have people Google “unexpected error e34566xce” and they will see that it has 10 possible reasons so you don’t know what even went wrong.

Had the displeasure of using the modern EA app the other week – completely refuses to launch my copy of Jedi: Fallen Order in the foreground after a single play-session (Steam -> EA just doesn’t work for some people).

My friend downloaded the friend pass of it takes two and ea just said you don’t own the game and refused to launch the game… Appearntly there’s a fix to download a free game and then it works again but wtf the support and moderates just closed the thread where this issue got raised the first time without giving a universal solution on what to try Tldr EA is the worst
