In EA in windows 10, I purchased Mass Effect legendary edition. Is there any way that anybody knows to transfer that over to steam? (lemmy.world)

I ask this because I’m in the process of moving fully to Linux mint and have a steam account in Linux. I don’t think EA has a program that runs natively in Linux. I’m wondering if there isn’t a way to grab the windows install file for legendary edition of Mass Effect and install it onto my Linux system understeam.

Or maybe there’s a more efficient way that somebody knows of to do this.

I just noticed I can buy Mass Effect Legendary Edition in steam for $5.99 to run in linux until the 20th of this month. Rather then trying to install extra software just to play the game... I'll just rebuy it .. if it were like $50 or $60 I'd think nah I'll get it working. but at $5.99? sheesh I should have checked that first. Time = Money.

I thank you for the link though. I'll definitely read up on lutris in case I need it for anything else..

EA games require the ea.app even if purchased through steam... fyi.

oh that's good to know. thank you

i should ask . if i buy through steam in linux, will steam auto install the ea app? I doubt it but have to ask

AFAIK it does not. You'd have to manually install it. I haven't tried installing EA games on linux. Hell even on windows they're a pain in the ass. App sucks... triggers virus warnings which might or might not be false. EA sucks.
