Could you build this?
Partial Building the UI for a launcher utility is straightforward, but integrating with Origin's private ecosystem requires reverse-engineering proprietary protocols and authentication flows.
What it would actually take: The frontend can be built in Electron or Tauri, but the backend requires reverse-engineering EA's private Nucleus authentication, game entitlement APIs, and chunked CDN download infrastructure. Managing silent game updates, registry keys, and DRM handshake routines requires specialized protocol reverse engineering and systems programming.
