The Zool [External Link] series from the early 1990s was sponsored by Chupa Chups. The branding was made very obvious when you purchased the game, so it wasn't intrusive or irritating. What EA are suggesting is not on, however.

If anyone is having trouble with gameplay being akin to wading through molasses, try disabling the gamepads in wine. You can do this selecting the wine prefix and then inputting wine control joy.cpl and moving the detected gamepads to the disabled section.
This made my game very playable, though I still have an issue with the mouse occasionally having me look at the ceiling!

Quoting: tamodoloI refuse to buy DENUVO games. It's too problematic and cannot be circunvented easely to prevent the game to give headaches. So I just will not buy a game that have DENUVO on PC. I'll preffer the console version for DENUVO games and with a large discount because these games DO NOT deserve money as they cause inconvenience and bad service.
Mostly agreed. I picked up a copy of Ghostwire: Tokyo as one of Epic's free offers. At one point I had to wait 24 hours to play it as I'd changed the wine version too often whilst configuring. I believe the Denuvo cancer has since been removed from this particular game.

Looking through my Steam collection, I see that from EA I only have the Dragon Age & Overlord games and Alice: Madness Returns. By the looks of things, it'll stay that way too!

Blimey. I think I'll just stick with my distro's repositories which are at least curated!
