Surrounded / Friday December 23
A science facility researching 'black matter' and 'dark energy' exploded, causing the nearby village and forest to be affected by the fallout and go dark. The government sent in agents to scope out the area and save the people of the village, but those agents were never heard from again after entering. After this incident, the government decided to mark the affected area with some tape, and civilians had been warned not to enter either the forest or the village.

Getting a bit hard since EA decided to get rid of Origin, and the new EA app is required, a broken app that doesn't recognize your old DLC purchases and causes your save files to not work.

EA needs to get rid of the EA app and go Steam with no EA app required to install (Steam copies require the EA app right now). I won't buy another game from EA ever again.

I was wondering if you guys could add Humble Choice the week the reveal drops for the monthly reward?

I use the Origin app still. I refuse to use EA. My only issue is I have 2 different saves in Grid Legends. On Steam I am driver 22 and on Origin I am Charles Hamilton. The EA app is just like everything EA has become (Except for Star Wars) a lot of fanfare and glitz but no real substance. How the hell can Madden on PC be locked at 30 FPS?

EA app is working for new games, and broken for old ones. Classic. Not acceptable.
