      Unfortunately most Battlefield games worked fine with Wine/Proton for years since EA used server side AC, so they already have our money.

        I got battlefield 5 and explicitly rebought it for Steam to play on the Deck. Like a year later they rugpulled Linux support because 2042 has done so badly that they had to start maintaining their old games again.
