CAN you buy someone a gift on the EA app

[RevZMan123]

Right, it's "working as intended" because they don't want EA Play people gifting their discounted games to people anymore.  What a bunch of nonsense.

Hi EA!

I got sent a gift that was a Expansion pack to the Sims 4. i didn't get any notification and when i try to open the gift on my E-mail i just get to a website that say install the EA app witch i already clearly have… i have tried so many times! And nothing works. I have tried to find something on the app but haven't found anything.. we sent you guys emails and got the same answer every time and didn't get any help! so please help me now! We have used money on this! So if you cant figure it out then please help us get our money back at least.

Hi @vanessamirajens Can we try going through the steps listed here?

Games and extra content you’ve received

1. Click your profile image in the bottom-left corner of Origin.
2. Select EA Account and Billing to go to the EA Account Settings portal.
3.  Click My Gifts. You'll only be able to see this if you've gotten a gift.
4. Your unopened gifts will be at the top and your opened gifts at the bottom.

Thanks!

Let us gift games on EA. 

I no longer have access to Origin so I can't gift games to my family anymore 😭. They're mostly on welfare and pensions so their only way to be able to play with me is gifting or specials. I've enjoyed being able to build my father's game library through gifting but I can't anymore. 

You'll earn more from sales this way so I don't see why not.

The Origin app used to have a drop down menu where you can choose to purchase for a friend, even if you have the pack already. Ever since it AUTOMATICALLY SWITCHED (i didnt want it!) to the EA app, theres no longer that option. How can i purchase for a friend? This is ridiculous!

Hi @Ancheelah,

Origin for Windows is no longer available and is no longer supported. The EA app for Windows is indeed your go-to platform for PC EA games.

Unfortunately, at the moment, a Gifting feature is not available in the EA app. However, we appreciate your feedback about this matter.

@Ancheelah The entire EA App is a joke, it hasn't worked since day one, and good luck being able to access offline mode or playing older games because it's nonexistent to the pre-alpha launcher that's been forced on us.

Hey @EA_Leeuw,

There's actually something that's broken. It still hasn't been fixed. Origin had a feature that the EA app does not, and there's no way to work around it.

It's great that the feedback has been forwarded. Maybe it's time for some results.
