## What it is
A C++ DLL patch that kept the legacy EA Origin game launcher running and suppressed prompts to migrate to the EA App. EA shut down Origin in April 2025, so the project no longer works.

## Use cases
- keep using Origin instead of EA App
- bypass EA App upgrade nag prompt
- patch Origin client with version.dll
- play EA games on legacy Origin launcher
- avoid EA App migration

## When to choose
- you are studying how the Origin client was patched
- you need historical reference for launcher patching techniques

## When to avoid
- you want a working EA games launcher today
- you need to install or play EA games now
- you are on Linux or macOS

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: abandoned
- function: gui
- domain: gaming-tools, windows, developer-tools
- platform: windows, cpp
- tags: origin, ea-app, game-launcher, dll-patch, legacy-software, patching
