Start the newly added "game" ie: the Origin installer and install it.In Steam, choose the "Add non-Steam Game" command and select OriginThinSetup.exe from where ever you placed it.It doesn't matter where you put it but your Downloads folder is a good option. Transfer OriginThinSetup.exe to your Linux machine.(Alternatively, Redditor GGG_246 informs these are also available at winehq) You need to do this because viewing the site from a Linux machine doesn't give the Windows download option. On a Windows machine, download OriginThinSetup.exe from their site. There might be other better ways, in which case please let me know. This post explains the best way I found to set it up. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a way to have it automatically shutdown when you close the game so that needs to be done manually. Luckily there's a way to launch Origin and then get it to run a specific game - which I'll cover below. It's like EA's version of Steam but crappier - especially for lounge room gaming machines that don't have a mouse or keyboard since it doesn't support controllers. Unfortunately the only way to download, install and run most EA games is via their launcher Origin.
