I ended up giving up on my playthrough of Mass Effect Legendary Edition on linux for this reason. The EA App worked fine for a bit, so I had time to finish ME1 and get about halfway through ME2, but then the app updated and would just crash after that.
Then another 10 minutes setting up graphics settings and your out 1/2 hour of your refundable time. On top of that sometimes you have to make an account so thats another 15-20 minutes. Then there are possible proton problems so you might have to test different protons. I play on laptop and deck so I might not have internet all the time, I have to test if the game can play without internet. Might waste most of your trial period on getting the game to run.
I’d say the many games that died when Games for Windows Live went down. Many of them got patches to make them work again (officially), but many games just became permanently unplayable (officially).
Wonder if there is one worse then Mass Effect Legendary Edition.
Launch game on steam
It opens EA Origin
It then opens the Mass Effect LE launcher
Now you get to pick which Mass Effect game you want to play.
Even worse on Linux, their stupid EA app breaks all the time. It took me 20 minutes fucking around to finally get it to work yesterday.

Battlefield 3 on Steam:
EA. More like hEll nAah
And the launcher looks like a flash website from 2002
