In their own words
EA app
EA app is Electronic Arts’ game platform for Windows and Mac, replacing Origin on those systems. It lets users collect games, see what friends are playing, and find new EA releases. Linking an EA Account with supported platforms can import friends lists and help users play together. The app is required to play EA games on PC launched through Steam or Epic, and logging in requires an EA Account ID and password. It updates automatically at login unless an update launches while the app is already running. Windows requires a 64-bit PC with Windows 10 or 11; Mac requires macOS 10.15.8 or later. Other operating systems are not supported. The app has a free plan; EA Play costs $5.99 a month and EA Play Pro costs $16.99 a month. EA Play includes a game collection, select new-release trials of up to 10 hours, monthly rewards, and a 10% digital-purchase discount. Pro includes premium editions of select new games on day 1, a premium-edition game collection, and the same discount.
World of Warcraft Subscription
World of Warcraft is an online game in which players take the roles of fantasy heroes exploring Azeroth. A subscription includes access to both World of Warcraft and WoW Classic; an active subscription or non-recurring game time also means WoW Classic does not need a separate purchase. The free trial covers World of Warcraft, but not WoW Classic. Characters above level 20 require a subscription or non-recurring game time, and upgrading also enables guilds, unrestricted in-game chat, and the Auction House. The game runs on Windows and macOS, requires broadband internet, and is installed and launched through the Battle.net desktop app. Subscription options are billed monthly, every three months, every six months, or every 12 months, and each can be canceled online anytime. No prices are listed for these options. Blizzard recommends an authenticator as an added account security measure. The company says it takes steps to protect personal information but cannot guarantee complete security for information it or its vendors handle.
