Maybe not. The disclaimers on the side of the store page appear to be different between these and some other EA games. I hate how hard it is these days to discern if a game has a stupid always-online requirement.

Can confirm at least on the C&C bundle there is no EA app requirement

the disclaimer on the side is if you subscribe to that ea subscription thing that gives you their games for 5 dollars a month, I think.

it is confusing how they ahve it set up, though.
