Reason for this meme is that some ubisoft titles are shipped with a broken version of ubisoft connect launcher. Installing these games is only possible by running the installer for the launcher again via protontricks.

Funnily the first time I tried Linux on my desktop was because I wanted to play BF4 but the EA App refused to launch on Windows 10 even after restarting/reinstalling everything.

I slapped Pop_OS on a backup SSD and got it running through Lutris within the hour.

Origin was a fucking nightmare to use even on Windows, and honestly...the EA desktop app wasn't really an improvement.

Origin was better in literally every way, but it's predecessor, the EA Download Manager, was even better, as it wasn't an always-online DRM piece of shit. You logged in, it listed your games, it downloaded them, and games still used a CD key.

Though I'm still pissy, as I bought NFS Carbon and obtained it via EADM, but when they moved to Origin, existing games didn't transfer, and there was no way to grab games for archival. So EA owes me a fucking copy of Carbon, since I didn't have it installed when they sunset EADM.

Fuck you, EA. In every conceivable sense of the word and action.
