That’s my general experience too since I moved my gaming PC to Linux about 2 years ago, both with Steam games and GoG games - very few games have problems and even fewer have unsolvable problems.
I bet the fault is in EA’s DRM for that game, which was pretty bad when it came out, since Steam doesn’t at all force them publishers to remove their DRM so there’s going to be all kinds of evil shit in there especially in AAA games from a certain era.
I’m almost certain a GoG version of that game (if there ever was one) would work flawlessly in Linux with Wine, same as the pirated version.
