Linux EA Play on Steam

I was very excited to access EA Play on my Linux box. I signed up the moment the update went live. Unfortunately Origin is, put simply, a nightmare. It actively and aggressively gets in the way, offering nothing but interference.

Steam has proven, conclusively, that it does not have to be this way. EA Play on Steam *could* have made playing EA games on linux a pleasant, no-hassle experience. Pretty much literally download and play. But no, I now have to install Origin PER GAME *on Steam* and it's pure luck whether or not the game itself actually launches. So far, my list of EA Play games that do work on linux via steam is: Dead Space 3.

One game.

That's worse than pathetic. I'm just relieved I only played £3.99 to check first.

I've also tried Origin via Lutris. It took roughly half an hour to launch (on my Ryzen 3600 build) then wouldn't let me log in. Total, massive fail.

You almost certainly have a load of linux users waiting to give you their money, and they can't because your Origin front end doesn't work. It is legendarily garbage. Please, please, fit it or remove it. Let linux users give you their money.
