Quoting: KimyrielleEA thrived all these years not from making great games, but from a handful of strong IP franchises such as FIFA and NHL, people keep buying because of the license year after year, not such much because the games are good. And since FIFA pulled the license from EA, there is some hope for the sports game genre, too. I am waiting for somebody to pick up the Sims, too. Like how Cities Skylines wiped out EA's Sim City line after EA ran it into the ground. The only real hope is EA's competitors finally realizing how weak EA's games are and finally find the courage to directly compete with them. EA thrived all these years not from making great games, but from a handful of strong IP franchises such as FIFA and NHL, people keep buying because of the license year after year, not such much because the games are good. These people aren't really good at what they do.
I mean let's be honest, Origin doesn't really work even in Windows, and the new app seems to be just as bad a piece of software as Origin was. It's just not in their culture and I actually doubt they have the needed skills in that company to support anything outside their little box. Need to know how to change the Proton version used? See the below video that goes over the changes and shows you what to do on Steam Deck:ĮA doesn't care about anything that's not Windows or console.
On Steam Deck, Valve control the drivers for you so it's fine. As a reminder (for desktop), you now need Mesa 22 / Nvidia drivers 510.47 or newer for Proton Experimental.

Some games just didn't work at all with the change, others needed a re-install, some needed a couple of re-loads and so on. Now, Valve should have solved it in Proton Experimental. Recently, EA starting removing Origin from games on Steam and replacing it with the EA app which as I noted before, caused numerous issues.
