Even if they are known, will they still be playable?

Looking at the state of the new Fifa and other sports games: No, no they won't be playable unless someone reverse engineers EA's servers.

Fr. I keep all her repacks that i download in zipped form on a big ass HDD for cold storage that way i can install and uninstall them without redownloading to save ssd space. I love the music her installers have in it too lol.
