Edit: Yes, I could use Lutris to launch EA app and verify this game. I know it's lazy of me, but these little unnecessary barriers are annoying; I will just save my money and spend it on a game that opts to not use them like EA is wont to do. As the company can't help itself, as it is trying to emulate the success of Steam but falling on its face.
Happy The Sims 1 and The Sims 2 remaster day, regardless, as EA listened to The Sims community at least!
EA App does work through Wine so that itself isn't a death sentence. Dunno about it mixed with Denuvo though.
I wasn't trying to imply anything else to be clear, just wanted to mention that their app on its own doesn't mean it won't work. I completely agree otherwise.
You're fine, I was just stating my own opinion. As it's true, if I didn't have such an intolerance to certain barriers to entry...I could get this game to work easily. As weirdly enough, I will spend more than 10 minutes looking for obscure repositories to add in order to make something work (like Vintage Story, I needed an older Fedora 39 repo of .NET 7 to make the game run) even if a Flatpak exists. ROFL
I'm just a silly sausage, I took zero offense...If anything, my initial comment was too speedy and needed more consideration before posting it!
It's all good, I didn't take your reply as a negative. It would be awesome if we could play anything with zero issues but we can't always be this lucky I'm afraid (though I'm all for heckling big corps about DRM).
As long as we consistently don't buy their intentionally compromised products...It's been shown that companies will relent. Like Sony did recently with their PSN requirements for certain games, as the hostile feedback was hurting sales. I will continue to heckle those big corps myself, until they kowtow! It's a boss battle, but they only have so much HP, Chip Damage is a successful strategy.
I haven't had issues with Denuvo on Linux thus far. It's been a non factor.
Good to know, so these might be playable as well.
